Redditor, under the username u/GuiltybutHonest, recently shared a story on the r/relationship_advice subreddit, detailing an unexpected twist that turned her newlywed joy into heartbreak.

She found that her husband had gone against their agreement not to change her last name after marriage, revealing a side of him she never expected. He insisted on following tradition and societal norms, leaving her feeling manipulated and lost.

During their wedding, the husband brought their marriage license and pressured her to sign it in front of their guests. Now, the OP is grappling with doubts about the foundation of their six-year relationship. So, she asks people online for advice: "I (28f) refused to sign my marriage license at my wedding to (28m), and now I think I should leave him."
