I don't understand why you hate being called Thomas, but why don't you legally change your name to Tom? Then she has to call you Tom.

He shouldnt have to legally change his name to Tom... and I doubt that she would recognize the change.

How has your wife changed since you were dating her? I'm betting she hasn't changed a bit, yet you married her then anyway.

Reminds me of this topic: wife just had an affair - tkdkid, where he said, "I just thought that if we hung in there long enough, that we could get a house, a dog, maybe even have kids."

His wife is the same as she ever was, too. I don't think people give it enough thought when they decide to get married. :confused:

Yep, marrying someone & thinking they'll change is a fatal error:frown:

So it took you 15 years to grow some eh? good on you mate ;). With relationships, it's good to establish who's gonna wear the pants and who will be doing the skirt hikings in the begining, otherwise, it'll be a big mess.
