re: Does your s.o. want you to have your location on or to show “read” for text messages?

Android now can send read receipts to iPhone and receive from iPhone, and you can even seen a response being typed in real time. I turned it off. RCS messaging under the message app. Discovered it after an update on my 15.

Yes we share out locations because we are not psychos who think the only reason to share your location is for pyscho reasons

Nah. Life 360 is a massive battery hog so I don't use it unless it's for some kind of one-off situation.

We share our location just for general safety reasons, she's never asked "why are you there?" before so no big deal.


I fought it for years, but gave in for this reason. Even still, she calls to ask me where I am. Makes no sense.

No. We got enough shite to worry about than trivial crap. How we kept up in the 90’s is fine now.

I didn't let her see my location for years, but one day realized it's actually helpful and proactively offered it to her.

She doesn't have to text me "where are you?" when I'm rushing to kids games or home from work for dinner. And I have nothing to hide regarding where I'm going.

I did turn it off when I went shopping for her birthday the other day. She knew I was going shopping for her and she's a nosy little minx.

I’ve never had either on and she’s never asked me to. Nor have I asked her. If she’s gonna cheat, then that’s between her and God and if it comes out I’ll deal with it accordingly. Wasting time I could be doing something productive or that I enjoy to track her is just dumb.

We all share locations in our family and it's never been a thing I complain about. I travel for a living and usually it lets her know if i'm onsite or driving. My oldest at college will look and see that I'm driving and call because he knows i'm not in the middle of work.

I send read receipts to nobody and never will. If it's an emergency that you need to see that I read it, then just call.

My boss asked me to turn it on for the company phone and I said that I would hand it it in and use my own before I ever did that and he dropped it.

We do not share social media accounts, passwords, or have read receipts turned on. We do share locations since we both have long commutes to work.

My wife had a co-worker, though, whose phone would ping her when her husband would check her location. Her phone would ping incessantly anytime my wife or me was around her. It was absurd. I honestly think she got off on it. To be fair, she did try (and probably did) try to cheat on him.

If the wife wants the text message "read" notice to come on when I read here texts I'm fine with that. I generally refuse to look at texts messages anyway. After all, I'm carrying a freaking PHONE... CALL me on it, dumbass! If you want to send me a text, then just send a freaking EMAIL.

As for the location... I have no issue with it being on. If my wife is out doing errands or coming back on a two hour drive from her parents' place and is running a bit behind schedule I can use it to check up on her progress and see that she's okay. It's not like we're checking in on each other because we're worried about cheating or going to the bar all night long. It's about being able to see the other is okay without having to call.

On the other hand, if your S.O. demands it out of jealousy or unfounded suspicion, dump her/him before saying "I do" at the altar. It'll save you untold years of misery and grief.

I turn my location on when I'm driving home from a hunt and I know she will ask what time I'm getting home 57 times.

No, but I wouldn't care if she did.

I have a flip-phone and half the time when I leave the house, it stays home/

So, good luck with suggesting that for me..............

Mine turned off her FB “visible” status the second she left. I guess to punish me. I may never recover

Nope. I trust her and she trusts me. The only reason either of us would make a request like this would be for safety. But we're either with each other or at home.
