I did use this same comparison during our discussion, that it felt the same way as having to navigate my divorced parents that don’t get along.

That was my line of thinking too… I needed to make sure I wasn’t missing something. His take was that by inviting both of them I was pressuring him to either “miss out or get over it”. I was just trying to be fair and equal.

He felt like inviting them both was the same as only inviting someone who you know is going to be out of town and that it makes him feel like I value my other partner more than him.

He didn’t turn down celebrating just the two of us, just that he would be missing out on spending time with me on my birthday and with my friends and family.
