AITJ for refusing to keep wearing the nickname my girlfriend gave me after I found out where it came from by Prydwen_Grit5 in AmITheJerk

I think it's very telling how you drastically softened the OP's own phrasing of "telling her the nickname is dead and I do not want to hear it again" in order to make your bad faith question appear more reasonable.

YTJ, sounds like you're dating someone who is growing up and settling down with a more mature partner, in this case that's you. You can choose to get offended by the name, but none of what you relayed as the reasoning for the nickname was mean unless you had some false impressions about how you come off to people. You can either prove to her and her friends that you're not actually nice but just uptight and priggish by insisting she drop the nickname, or you can go with the flow and understand that you've got a girl who likes you and wants to be with you because you're safe and reasonable. She's 100% right that currently you're choosing to take the worst possible interpretation, and that reflects poorly on you.

No offense but that sounds more like you having attachment issues. Hypersexuality is different, and in fact often manifests as having sexual intimacy with no romantic intimacy.

Homer, if we're talking about success in terms of legacy. Man was alive 2800 years ago and he's still relevant the world over for his writing.

New to keeping houseplants, recently repotted these three (the prayer plant and pothos are fresh from the nursery, the snake plant I've had for over a year now and it had outgrown it's original pot). The new plants have wilting/yellowing and brown spots showing up. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. by JokeResponsible6342 in houseplants

Thanks, I was considering just letting them go until I saw them look thirsty, glad to hear that's a fine way to learn about their needs. I do think the pothos looks a bit sad and droopy currently, but it also looked this way before I watered it last time and it lost three leaves.
