Just a heads up. We do have undercover christian conservatives (and therefore likely police) within the forum. Keep this in mind when posting. If you wouldn’t post it on a public space DO NOT post it here.
Take care.

The other day my sister asked if I was ace...
I was keeping her company while she was cooking. We were alone. So she said "ive been thinking about something. And wanted to ask you, without offending you...." and I was like "oh shit, what is it now?" And she looked at me and asked "are you asexual?"
I said "uh, yeah. I am" and this woman literally said "I KNEW IT!"
So yeah, thats my boring coming out story lol. My sister was more hype about being right than my sexuality lmao

Conflicting feelings about staying the night in my partner's guest room
Hi everyone, I'm new here, but not to poly life. I'm in a new situation though, and struggling with it, so I'm hoping for some input or perspective.
-----
Short background: I'm 38F, currently have one partner (been together 2 years) who has a NP. I have been poly practically my whole life, my partner and his NP are both in their first poly relationship (for 8 years already, which seems to work very well for them). Meta and I don't hang out a lot, but we get along very well as friends.
Emotionally, I feel pretty much equal, can always count on his support, he makes me feel important and secure. But since they have been living together for a long time, there is a practical hierarchy that I sometimes struggle with.
-----
To the actual question: the three of us spent Christmas at their house. We all gave each other gifts, cooked together, it was chill and lovely. We (partner and me & partner and meta) give each other little hugs and squeezes, but otherwise we keep the intimacy to a minimum when spending time all together.
At the end of both Christmas days, I spent the night at their house, but I stayed in their guest room. I've done this before, but I always end up feeling conflicted.
On one hand, I sleep better alone, I experience little jealousy in general, and I love feeling so welcome in their house, having coffee all together in the morning, etc.
On the other hand, sometimes it makes me feel lonely and on the outside. I lie there feeling like an intruder in their lives, and the realisation that I will never share my life with him in the same way, hurts me like crazy.
I don't even think we would make good NPs, but in moments like these, I find myself mourning the impossibility of it anyway. It's irrational, but it keeps happening.
-----
I wonder if anyone recognizes this, and any input on how you handle this (practically or emotionally) is very welcome. Thank you for reading :)
