Ms, Miss or Mrs?

I saw a post on a different forum about which title to use after divorce: Ms, Miss, or Mrs, and wondered what the difference was?

What have people chosen?

From what i can see women tend to go from Mrs to Ms when they get divorced. Although i am keeping my married name (far easier than my Maiden Name and same as my daughters) i just reverted back to ''Miss''.

Should i be a Ms?

JS,

Have not given this much thought,but a very close friend of mine always addressed me as Ms.
The only thing is I have had my married name for longer than my maiden name,and it would feel strange reverting back,also I would forget when asked my name:lol:

Now though will give this some thought,but
MS, Miss or Mrs is only a name,my piece of paper is the real deal:)

Take care
Luv and cwtchs

After my divorce I reverted back to my maiden name and became a ms but as a school teacher always just called MISS!!

My stbx has chosen Miss.

And that is before we are even divorced.

At the end of the day its up to you.

I know it hurt me, what she has chosen. After all she kept her ex husbands name, after he ran off with another woman. Yet she changed hers, after running off with another man.

If you are comfortable changing your name or title..... Do it. But do understand... Sometimes it can hurt

At this moment in time I intend to stay Mrs.

Ms, to me sounds like a hippy, who is well into womens rights, etc. and when I have a Ms in front me at work I always think, I knew you were a Ms, just something about them!!

Miss, makes me think of an old unmarried spinster who was left on the shelf for whatever reason.

And Mrs well the best of a bad lot, and have spent more time being one of those than anything else.

Maybe when my children get married I will re think again!!

Ive kept Mrs and my married name, it irritates his new wife as its an unusual name and that suits me fine I can''t face changing everything,only because of the enormity of that !so until my handsome prince arrives I''m afraid shes had it!!

I had to chuckle at this! I think it upsets him more that i havent changed it! I know it annoyed him when his first wife kept her married name and now, if he ever marries OW her first name is just 3 letters different to mine so she''d be the same Mrs X Xxxx!

My married name is very short and sweet and uncomplicated compared to my maiden name and i dont really associate it with stbxh, its more my daughters name!
