How many of y’all are like me and just find some inherent weirdness to always sharing location?



My wife and I use Life360. We used to have our kids on it, until they graduated from college. It is a scary world. This isn't about trust, this is about safety.

I feel like I am responsible for my wife's safety & security. With the technology available and basically free, I think there is something weird about couples who don't always share their location.

More like he married the right woman bc she won’t track me. Your OP has the vibe that you’re feeling out opinions bc you actually disagree with what you’re saying.


I trust my husband because I’m not naturally insecure, and he’s never given me any reason not to trust him. I also handle 100% of our finances to the point of him not even knowing how much total money we have or where it’s invested. That’s a bold strategy for a serial cheater.

We live in an area with ravines and I have health issues. I want everyone to know where I am if I go off the road. A kid was rescued recently after days in a ravine.

Never.

One of the reasons I don't have an iPhone.

I don’t think you can just be tracked by anyone. Don’t you have to have the app and allow location to be followed? My daughter sent her location to me via iMessage when she was on a trip. When she got home she turned it off.
Yes. For the “Find My” app on iphones, the person being tracked has to manually share their location with each individual person they want to share it with. There’s options to share for 24 hours, a week, or indefinitely until the sharer turns it off

My wife has never asked me to share my location but it might be she knows I would respond, LOL, I don’t think so.

I think it’s weirder that you and your wife have come to the conclusion that you need this

Of course everyone here claims to be an independent self-reliant product of the 70s and 80s and the ultimate husband/father, yet tracks their wife, has video monitors and owlets on their kids, use iPads to parent, etc

There are no trust issues. I just find the constant tracking inherently creepy. He does, too, so I guess that means I married the right man. How many of y’all are like me and just find some inherent weirdness to always sharing location?


Obviously there are trust issues. How much do you think your significant other is tracking you. My wife and I have been sharing our locations with each other for yrs. The benefit is that supper is always ready when I get home from work. I commute about an hour so that helps us to coordinate meals. When she goes shopping I track her so she wont surprise me watching porn - jk.

My 30 yr old son and I share location and I never look at it unless he is traveling home from 5hrs away. Just to know when he will arrive.

I used to share location with my daughter but it was too stressful. Actually sleep better not tracking her.

Sounds like you have trust issues honestly. Good excuses though

Me and my wife have never even discussed sharing locations before

He makes a good bit more money than I do if that helps make him more of a man in your in your f-ed up book. Jesus. I have a background in finance, so I typically handle the investments. You sound insecure, bud.

I don’t want my kids knowing where I am all the time. Or my best friend. Or anyone really. I’ll share location when needed, but constantly? No thanks. It’s freaking weird to me.

It can be both ways. My wife and I have no trust issues and have never said a word about why you were somewhere else. Strictly convenience when needed. Neither of us has any worries about being somewhere objectionable. Never had a fight or even a discussion about it...

Anyone that is married and finds offense at the convenience of location finding in this day and age, they are hiding something.

Could be innocuous. Too many trips to TJ Maxx, stops at Fast Food on the way home, a quick beer when you get off early, etc. could be cheating, but you’re not being transparent and ultimately phone tracking or not will become problematic.

This is the way I feel about it. We have a big 360 group. My wife, her kids, my kids, my sisters, brother in laws, etc.

Don’t find offense to it, just never have needed it with my wife.

A month or so ago she left a day ahead of me to go to Fredericksburg. Neither of us needed up to the second tracking on our progress. She called when she felt like it and I did the same on my way over.
