Different people have different arrangements. Some agree to give each other veto rights over new romantic interests, at least in the early stages. Many others find this a bad idea. Many find that a better idea is "consultation rights." This way if you see something genuinely problematic with your partner's potential new lover, you get a built-in chance to talk it over, express your concerns, and offer your best judgment.

If you really don't like your metamour (lover of your lover), you should be able to insist on your own personal boundaries: he/she doesn't come into your house, or take over certain nights of the week, or whatever it is.
