….because it was set up long ago and not changed? Maybe they do not realise how it comes up on the recipients screen? Maybe they don’t mind or can’t be bothered? Our family email dates from donkeys years we changed it recently and now my DH can have the pleasure of people asking why my name comes up, if they bothered to ask. Why do we have a joint email? It suits our lifestyle that’s all.

AIBU to be a bit frustrated with ladies who use their husband’s email instead of having their own?
I have just set up an e-mail group list for a u3a group I am facilitating, but it is really confusing when the husband’s name comes up when it is his wife who is replying to me. She is the member of the group, not him.
Why do some women not have their own identity?
