My girlfriend told me that she doesn't like pet names, like "sunshine" or "beautiful". The problem is that I've been texting her for months every morning, and in the "good morning" texts, I'd habitually call her those names. She said today she never liked them, and that she doesn't want me to call her by those names again, but she hadn't said anything until now. I would've been fine with it if she was honest with me before, but she kept it to herself. Was it because she didn't trust me? How can I help her by honest with me and trust me enough to tell me when I do something she doesn't like? I don't ever want to make her uncomfortable, and I feel as if I've already done that with calling her those names.
What do I do when my girlfriend says she doesn't like pet names?

I really can't say much here because this is between the two of you, but it's probably just a minor thing, you know? She most likely didn't tell you before because she was afraid of offending you or making you uncomfortable, but this is really something you should decide for yourself. I'm merely giving my opinion. But to answer your question simply, I think you should just let her know that you want her to be totally comfortable and immediately open & honest if you do something she doesn't like, and that it won't hurt your feelings. Hope it all works out!
