It a load of nonsense, why did she marry you then. Its becoming a common and crazy society where married women are bearing their husband's name and father's name.

dayokanu:

How would a woman be married and want to still go with her fathers name?

How would a man be married and still bear his fathers name ?

Every aspect of culture, be it Western or African were thought of by one man like you and I, chose the ones you can conform to and conform, and the ones you can't conform to let it be. Just like the woman has done.

@ Aloy Emeka, I'm a realist. In life we don't know what tomorrow will bring and I apply the same principle to everything I do. I'm not saying I want to get divorced or I wish for for it but I am not living and refuse to live in a fairy tale world where I expect the rest of my life to be a happily ever after. Despite problems I've faced in my marriage, I can still proudly say that I've got 8+ years under my belt.
So don't go trying to read a whole lot of meaning into my statements and please GET OFF MY BACK! It's like you enjoy trying to poke holes or find fault with things I say. Jeez!!! 

I APPLAUD your sense of reality.
No one plans to be sick, but it happens. No one plans for accidents, but it does happen. With the alarming rates of divorce and separation, one must love with their heads. I find that it is practical people like you whose relationships work. Most dreamers ended up broken and jaded.
I wish you more year of marital bliss. . . And just avoid the nitwits on here.

@OP-

the most important question is this-did you bring this issue up to her before you got married? if you didn't, then go sit down. after 7 years, you want to start carrying on about this. if you did, still go and sit down, because this should have been settled long ago.
if everything else in this marriage is fine, if you are happy being with her and your family and everything else is okay, then leave this issue alone. if she wants to change it, she'll do it on her own.

3 gbosas!

ROTFLMAO     

After I saw the thread on NL about 'taking' from your hubby, I asked my bf if I could take his money when ever I wanted without him seeing it as stealing, he was like 'of course, what's mine is yours' . . .  But somehow since then, I've not seen his wallet lying around like before! All the usual places he used to keep money have now gone 'dry' . . .  agbaya!   

Buahahahahahahahahaahahhaha I swear you just made my day with this post of yours The bobo's wallet/money don grow legs come go underground

I swear the things these guys come up with . . .

It's a good thing I'm older and wiser!

There is no reason that justifies her action for not bearing her husbands name but I will advice the man to make good money, be famous and have good personality.You will see the wife singing like a bird/ change her name ASAP.

Yet women come on crusades that they are not items to be bought with money. God save us from these women

Interesting.

God created the Heaven and the Earth, rested.
Created Man, rested.
But since God created Woman, neither God nor Man has rested,

God will help us.

My wife said the same thing and left after seven good and peaceful years of marriage, to be honest with you she have an hidden agenda wait you will see.
