We got divorced a year ago, and several months later, my ex-husband found a girlfriend. We had a messy breakup and completely cut off contact with each other.
Recently, he reached out to me out of the blue, saying, “I’m getting married soon, and I want you to take back your maiden name because my fiancée is uncomfortable.”
I asked him why it was a problem, and he said she didn’t want me to have the same last name. She knows I was his ex-wife, and she thinks I still “belong” to him.
