And what's that about? if you don't want to hang with her, you shouldn't have to. Polite respect among metamours is enough, you don't all have to be friends and hang out. It doesn't sound like you really want to do that, but you go along with it just to see him, because that's the way he wants things.

I gotta say, your SO sounds like a dictator, and he's got both you and your metamour wrapped around his little finger. How about knowing your own mind, and standing up for what you really want? Wouldn't you rather be with someone who is kind to the ones he loves instead of requiring a group dynamic among people who don't get along, and belittling and trying to change them to meet some sort of distorted standard?

I agree that this whole arrangement smells fishy.

I learned a long time ago that "fair" doesn't mean "equal." Different people have different needs and different capabilities.

For example, suppose one girlfriend gets really busy with work for a couple weeks and can't make time to see him. Is the other girlfriend not allowed to see SO until the one girlfriend has more free time? Who does that serve?

I can understand what he's going for, trying to make sure no one feels left out or discarded. But in real life, it's just not practical or even desirable to see every person for the exact same amount of time.

I guess it's his choice to make, if he wants to set it up that way and refuse to see certain people unless it works into his little plan. But that is someone I would definitely avoid.
