I’m struggling, mentally.
After a separation eight years ago, the rumours of the ex in-laws continue, and effect my now daughter (not the previous relationship). And despite me being willing to explain the truth to people, no one ever asks for it, they just believe the complete lies they've created.
They created a blog, a Facebook page, the works, and no one ever questions whether it’s true or false.
I got protection orders, they’ve breached them numerous times. They just don’t respect the law at all.
My partner has said to change my surname to his, but I’m struggling with the idea, given the world says bullying is bad, but they’re so quick to be OK with it with their actions.
What are your thoughts?
Have you changed your name?

I haven't but I would in a situation like this, I inherited a bit of a negative legacy with my surname so I get it.
I'm not sure I'd change it to a new partners name though, I think I'd pick something generic then hyphenate my partners name if we ever married.
i would only change to partner due to marriage.
change back to your maiden name.
