    My wife and I have each other’s locations. We trust each other. We just like having that information available. It’s really not that hard to understand.

        Not hard to understand, no, but many find it to be creepy and invasive.

        Those people are free to not use the tech. Being forced to use the tech, however, is absolutely a problem.

        Yeah like … I trust my husband, and I am also not his keeper, so I do not need to know where he is 24/7. I find it very odd and invasive.

      It sounds like you and your wife have a healthy relationship. That’s awesome! But, for possessive and controlling relationships, surveillance can be harmful.

      Personally, my location is shared with my sister. I’d share it with my partner but he is a bit of a Luddite. I wouldn’t be sharing because he asked, I would be doing it so he could find me easily in an emergency.

      And, I wouldn’t ask him to share his. If he turned it on and wanted me to have it, that’s cool. And if not, that’s cool too.

        Absolutely. My previous marriage was like that. Luckily the topic of location tracking never came up.
