You'd think after 22 years, I could just let it go...

Don't feel bad - I feel the same way, after 20 years of experiencing something similar. I kept my maiden name. Some members of my DH's immediate family -- including his 23 year old NIECE -- insist on calling me Mrs. Brian XXXXXX or Suzanne XXXXXXX. It's annoying.
