L. C., can your wife and you split hairs even more finely? It seems that all the fighting revolves about something you are willing to do in the first place. You'll do it BUT you won't do it gladly. She is aware that you are willing to do it BUT is upset because you aren't happy about it...where do you get energy to do anything else other than bickering? Both of you are posturing over what could be a done deal. She took your name without alot of drama; you can't dig up enough husbandly affection to affect a little happiness here, if she wants it so much? If this is an old argument surfaced because...why? You can't find enough in the present to fight about ?
Marriage is just full of places where give and take is needed. My husband does all kinds of things for me and/or the family that he isn't very pleased about; I do the same for him. We do it because we love each other and we enjoy pleasing each other. You guys could be so much happier if you all stopped posturing. How often do you use your middle name anyway? You never heard of using initials for middle names? Come on, there are so many simple ways to resolve this.
