Need opinions for issue with gf

[Sakish]

Alright, I know people will react differently to this and i accept all kinds of answers.

Me and my gf got into a fight today, because.. Well I call my "ex" (why "ex"? because it was like 6 years ago and we were young and w/e) by a nickname, like if you have a friend called dick you'd call him dicky or w/e

SUPER IMPORTANT INFO: We have been friends since we were 13 and i've used that nickname ever since, even before we even were "bf and gf" and she is the friend that i've known the longest in this city that i moved to 6 years ago. We also grew up in the same hometown, became friends there and stayed friends ever since.

So is it really that wierd that I have a nickname for (what we refer as to eachothers) a really good friend? I definately dont see the issue here, she just calls me a bad boyfriend and that I dont get it. I'm confused.

I dont want to stop calling her this because she is the friend that I've known the longest in this world and that feels special to me. My gf however doesnt get this obviously.


Shred me some light, opinions please guys NEED FUCKING HELP T_T

Edit: Since aaron is a dick.

We did have a huge fight about this, I tried to explain this to her but all she could counter with was "she is still your ex" and all I could feel was "so????" what does that even matter when neither of us have those kinds of feelings left.. ;_;

It's entirely irrelevant whether or not you think you have a good reason to maintain the nickname for your friend. The fact that it bothers her should be enough of a reason to stop using it.

Unless the nickname is somehow suggestive, I don't think there's a legitimate reason for you to stop using the nickname. But yeah, make sure your gf understands that a nickname does not equal liking that person and that things between you and your ex are completely platonic. Also keep in mind jealousy's a fairly common thing, and depending on how long you and your current gf have been going out for, seeing how close you and your ex may cause her to be a bit mad. (I don't think that's a reason to stop hanging out with your ex, this just means you have to talk this through with your gf.)

Maybe you can even try giving your current gf a nickname :P

Seems like one of the typical "silly" arguments in any relationship. She's probably having a bad day or something. Give her some time to cool off and then talk to her about it when she's ready to have a conversation with you.

I think this is fairly spot-on. That one person having a nickname means they mean more to you than the average person, and your gf is more than likely a little intimidated/jealous (even if there is no logical reason for feeling that way). She's probably a little insecure, and needs to understand that this other person was there for you earlier in life and still matters to you. If possible, try and move past it for now and avoid bringing up that other girl when talking to your gf. I think with enough time she may gain a better understanding.

The asshole in me wants to tell your girlfriend to stop being a pussy little bitch about it.

The concerned forum poster in me wants to tell your girlfriend nearly the same thing.
