working late again

hey so i work nights and its not a secret that my partner is into others too. we agreed on this from the start and have been open about it for a while now. but last night something happened that kinda threw me off balance a bit. there was this guy at work, he’s always kind of given me butterflies even when we’re strictly professional. i mean its just those little things like his smile or how he moves, nothing big enough to do anything about really. but it hit me harder than usual last night and yeah the moment got away from me a bit. nothing serious happened i don’t think, maybe some flirting over email after shift ended. honestly i dont know if either of us were thinking straight. but it left me kinda questioning how solid our ground rules are with all this openness and freedom around. been going over it in my head all day trying to parse out what the heck happened there and why it hit me so hard. does this mean im not fully committed to being open? am i playing games or just stressed from long hours? confusing cuz we both signed up for this lifestyle. but now feels kinda messy and unsure. still love my partner dearly of course, just trying to figure out what all the signals mean and if we need a chat about boundaries. anyone ever have something similar happen in your arrangement where you got confused by some flirting or attraction? i guess thats what confessions posts are for right lol. thanks for reading.
