M27. My now ex is pregnant with my child. We fell off pretty hard during these nine months of pregnancy. She is due this month and expressed that our little girl will not bear my last name.

I'm all for being a father and being there for my child. Hell, I'll even look out for my ex through postpartum. I just don't think I have it in me to father a child that does not have my last name. I'm almost reluctant to sign the birth certificate.

I know it's not the kid's fault, and it's just the mother being spiteful. It might be pride or ego on my end. But, I wouldn't even mind if the kid's name was hyphenated at the same time.

Am I tripping? Fathers, please chime in. This is my first kid, by the way.
