Oh, I hear you. I happen to be married, but I definitely go by Ms. It's just no one's business one way or the other.
When I first got married, my very young and innocent SIL, who had taken my brother's last name, asked me, "So, if you're not taking your husband's last name, what will people call you? Mrs. OriginalLastName?" No, sweetie, it's Ms. OriginalLastName. You don't have the Mrs. if you don't change your name!
When I get people asking for Mrs. Husbandslastname, I tell them that they need to take me off of their calling list because I'm on the "do not call" list and it is illegal for them to call me. Or else, I tell them that my mother in law doesn't live there, and hang up. Grrrrrr.
