What is the logical upside from constantly tracking your spouse?
I don’t have a great reason to, other than to help find a device if it is lost, or check on my wife’s ETA if I’m home with the kids and she’s at work. I very rarely look at it (probably used to find a lost phone 5x more often than any other reason). But, I also have zero reason to not share my location with my wife, so it doesn’t bother me to do so. We’ve been together for 16 years and didn’t start sharing locations until we had kids.
ETA: I just really don’t care about being “tracked”, the location of both of our vehicles is tracked by our insurance company and available via app, and one of our vehicles has a app specifically for the vehicle that also shows the location of it.

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.

We have an AirTag in all vehicles and all of my handbags purely for theft purposes.

You don’t have to share location constantly to find a lost phone. Just log into your Apple account, and you can see the location. I have my husband’s Apple ID, so if I were legitimately worried about him, I could log in and see where his device is. You don’t need to share location 24/7 to have that ability.

You’re right… I do… Sometimes instead of coming directly home, I circle the block and finish a song I’m listening to.

I know a couple that does it. They don’t have trust issues. The wife generally feels safer knowing that if something were to happen to her they could track her down. They both do a lot of hiking so I guess it makes sense.

You hiding something for sure

I don’t know my wife’s Apple ID and she doesn’t know mine either

I think the vast majority of responses have been reasonable. It’s clear most folks who do it just find it convenient and don’t have this natural aversion to the idea of being tracked the way I do. That’s fine.
The 3 or 4 responses like this give me the creeps. Y’all sound controlling as hell. A successful relationship is built on trust. And besides, if I really wanted to cheat, I think I’m smart enough to get around the location sharing.

I am walking out the store with it when my wife calls and ask me why I was buying a 300 dollar fishing rod.
Our money is technically community property but we (wife, no pics, and I) trust each other and respect each other’s judgment.

My wife and I moved waaaaay outside the Atlanta Metro area to escape the ungodly traffic and increasing crime. When she drives to see her parents in Gainesville she necessarily has to go through Atlanta and all that traffic both ways. Being able to track her location is more about her safety and knowing she's not been involved in an accident on I-85/I-285/I-20 during her travels. It has nothing to do with trust issues or wanting to keep tabs on each other.
On the flip side from her perspective, she can see exactly where I may be (as long as there's a signal) when I'm out hiking or fly fishing in Montana or Idaho and can estimate the odds of whether I've been eaten by a bear yet.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Just leave the damn phone where you’re supposed to be.

My wife and I started sharing locations early one during dating because we were long distance and wanted to track each other on our 1.5 hour drives. We don’t really check it frequently but it’s nice to have just in case.

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.
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.
How long have you suspected his infidelities?

Thx, Obtuse 
I do ackshully know where Bryn Mawr is and what it is. I am familiar with the Seven Sisters colleges. However, I did not attend any of them. Eons ago I received scholarships to Wellesley and Mount Holyoke. But thank you for the nice explanation, really.

It is creepy if it’s used everyday for same routine.
