People assuming i changed my last name

Michelle, on June 21, 2022 at 9:09 PM Posted in Married Life 1 5
For those of you who didn't change your last name when you got married, how do you deal with people who address you by your husband's last name? I knew there would be people who would assume I changed my name and I didn't think it would bother me, but it kinda does. Did you just let it go? Did you politely correct them? I don't want to have to get used to being called the wrong name, but I don't want to be rude about it either.

    I don't think its impolite to correct them at all. I would just say 'oh actually I kept my name, so I'm still Michelle X'

    I don’t think it is impolite to correct them either. Although, I probably won’t bother.

    I didn’t change my last name, and I politely correct people. And if it’s wrong on a card, I’ll make sure to sign it with my last name on the thank you note. People who you talk to regularly will pick up on it pretty quick.

    I get annoyed by this, so I would correct them and ask why they didn't address both of us by my last name.
