Assalaamu Alaykum

does a brother who has 2 wives who lives in two different cities, shorten his salah whenever he goes see any of the two wives since he doesn't really has a permanent residence because he spends nights in one city and the other.

Salaam,

A traveler is a person who travels from his city of residence to another. A city of residence is the city in which you live. So whenever a person leaves his city of residence he is considered a traveler and can then shorten his prayers.

Ibn al-Munzhir says: "I do not know of the Prophet shortening his salah during any of his travels until after he had left Medinah."

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
