one no, don't, of course I bring this up. The
internet is divided over this. If one gets divorced. I'm
getting your opinion, not saying your relationships. If someone gets divorced,
should they be obligated to give up their last name?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's been a very hot topic this week on the internet.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I think it gets a little bit more complicated sometimes
if you have kids, because for me personally, like I
would kind of want to still all have the same
last name.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
So I don't think I would.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
But then if I got remarried again, then maybe I
would take that new name.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
So here's the story.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
There's a woman that posts on REDDA that she and
her husband agreed to part ways after some twenty six years.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Away years terrifying well he came out as gay. Okay,
Well that'll do it.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
So she says he's now engaged and she's very supportive
of their relationship. So I mean, that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
But during that her grandson's birthday party, her ex and
his partner asked if she would consider dropping his last name.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
He said, it makes his partner feel uncomfortable. Okay, he
needs to relax. He's the one that I'm telling you
what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
He's the one that changed up her life by his
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Okay, but that's like, it's not his fault.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
But he also.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Shouldn't have to like control her not keeping the name
his name to keep.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
But his new partner says, it's a power play by
the X. Now it's getting petty, right.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
So she said, look, we have kids and we all
use the same last name, and that's the way I
understand that. So the ex is now furious with her
calling her petty because she was called petty by her ex.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
At the end of all this, I think, But at
the end of the day, I mean, look, I don't
know what kind of emotions this man went through after
twenty six years of marriage to them come out as
gay and then realize like, oh, this is what I
this is my truth. You know. So he was hiding
this from her all these years, or maybe he didn't
know it or who knows. But that's like already so
much for her to take in, So like, let her
keep your name?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Like what's it to you?

Speaker 4 (02:21):
I feel like it's also though, like on a on
a spiritual level, like how can you move on if
you're still living in your past? You know what I mean? Like,
how are you supposed to move on and find someone
if you're holding on to your past.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, some say that if it's so important to him
and his partner, then he should take his fiance's name.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's an easy solution.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
We need a solution here.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I think that's the easiest solution because she doesn't want
to change it because of the kids. You wants to
have the same last name as her kids.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I don't think.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
And isn't that like it's so I've heard it's very
annoying to change your name.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
No, it's very easy. Actually, really, everybody.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Told me it's like such a to do.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Everybody's trying to dissuade you.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Though. Let's come back to Chapel Run and Systney will
tell you what's new this morning.
