WHY should SHE be the only one to change her name??  Maybe she likes her name!
What here indicates a fight?

Yeah, wimmin!  Always causing the trouble!  Wanting to compromise!  Thinking
what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander! (last time I checked,

With inflexible attitudes like yours, ray, *you*'ve got a good chance at being
involved in a divorce.
