Been there! It sucks losing an argument with yourself XD.
My ๐กah-ha moment was realizing that I had one person freaking the fuck out, and another insisting "we're fine, nothing to see here" and a third going "what do you mean 'we'...?"
Chances are, you're not overreacting. Yes, people go through phases or have difficulty with identity confusion after major life events (teen-years, divorce, new baby, etc.) but what you're describing certainly sounds more like a median system, which is common in DDNOS/OSDD.
I'd strongly recommend doing a little reading on the topic: Stranger in the Mirror and The Myth of Sanity helped me feel a lot more secure in "yes this is actually the thing, and it's like 'normal'/healthy people may experience, but more so." Stranger in the Mirror has an adaptation of the SCID-D that you can use to gauge the severity of certain symptom clusters, and instructions on how to interpret that.
There's a lot of terminology out there. Some people don't like "main", "host", etc, but it depends on each person, really.
I personally love answering questions, as long as they're asked respectfully. I know a lot of people are worried about offending me, but really, I know when people mean well and I'm rarely offended. It wouldn't hurt to ask her. I know I would rather be approached by my boyfriend with a request to talk to his sister than directly approached by his sister, but I'm sure it really depends on your relationship.
I did a /r/casualiama on my DID a little while ago. It's here if you're interested in that. A couple of book suggestions as well:
