Man Upset Because His Wife Breaks Agreement To Give Their Child His Last Name, Brewing Trouble In Their Relationship

The OP and his wife, now expecting a baby boy, found themselves ensnared in a heated argument over the surname for their upcoming child.
Back when the couple was on the brink of marriage, they agreed that the wife would use the OP's last name for their child, a promise she even put in writing on a piece of paper given by the OP.

The couple now faces a challenge in reconciling their differing views on an issue they thought they had settled long ago. Scroll down to read the whole story!
