I am a widow and met my partner three years ago. We are living together - four days his place three days at mine.
My partner’s sister and husband will be staying with him soon. This means that I will not be with him full time as he only has one bedroom and a study which has a sofa bed. I suggested they stay with me, as I have a bigger house but they refused, saying that it was too far from my partner’s ex. She lives around the corner from my ex. and has recently had a second bedroom installed. This means that they can stay with her and have done so twice already.
They were together for 23 years and separated six years ago but I know that my partner’s sister would like to get them together. They are very nice people and welcomed me with open arms and so I feel very hurt that they won’t stay with me. It means that I will be alone for a week wondering whether my partner’s sister is encouraging his ex to come round for coffee or even go out with them. I will of course be welcome to go round there but I feel that they have chosen her over me. My partner adores his sister and is getting very stressed out about it. AIBU?

I think YAB a bit U. It sounds like they barely know you so would probably not feel comfortable staying at your house. If the ex has been part of their lives for 23 years (and part of their family) it's not surprising they feel close to her. I don't think it's a rejection of you.

They have a 23 year relationship with her so of course they'd rather stay at her place.

Why is your partner stressed? I don't understand that bit?
