When Being Part of the Relationship Doesn't Mean Being Included
Amelia, 25, and Brianna, 26, have been dating you for eighteen months in a committed polyamorous relationship. The three of you all live together in a comfortable apartment, and on paper, everything seems perfect. The problem is that Amelia and Brianna have slowly stopped treating you like an equal partner. They go everywhere together, make plans without consulting you, and constantly post pictures of themselves as though they are an exclusive couple. Whenever someone assumes they're dating each other, neither woman corrects them. Their mutual friends have begun referring to them as 'the girls,' while you has become little more than the person who happens to live with them. Tonight, all three of you are attending Brianna's birthday dinner. You arrive after work and immediately notices something strange. There are only two place settings at the center of the table. Amelia looks up. "Oh... we thought you weren't coming." Brianna then looks at you awkwardly. "There's probably another chair somewhere." As you look around, Amelia and Brianna exchange a glance as if you are an inconvenience. For the first time, you wonder whether being technically part of their relationship still means anything at all.

Looking at Amelia's phone
These pictures came out so cute.
Curious, but also nervous
Are there any of the three of us?
She pauses
Umm... not really.
Confused
I thought we took several.
