Do you expect your so to do the same?
Do you tell your so your whereabouts, who you with when you’re not around them? Why/why not?
Do you expect your so to do the same?
I don't think I'd introduce the idea, but if that's what my partner wanted me to do, I would have no problem with it--and if that were the case, I'd take the opportunity to request that she do the same.
Full openess... can even track me with an apple app, vice versa!
To an extent, your SO doesn’t need to know exactly where you are at every moment
I do just for safety reason.

Yes, my girlfriend should always know how to find me if she needs me and there are no secrets about where I go. I am at work, in court, at church, at my mother's or sister's home, the grocery store, or at home. I rarely go anywhere else without her. She never demands to know where I am going; I just volunteer the information. She is trusting and not jealous or suspicious and I would like to keep it like that.
She has been ill the past month and has not been anywhere other than the hospital or a doctor's office and I have been with her, but when she is well, I always know where she is at.
I don't unless a guy is flirting with me then I will say something cause he has a right to know. I am not officially in a relationship right now but talking to people I'm considering being with.
This can absolutely be controlling and abusive if used the wrong way. Example:
"Hey I'm going out with Chelsea for drinks, I'll see you at home around 11" is just being respectful
"You text me every hour, tell me if anyone else shows up, tell me when you get to the bar, when you are leaving, and be home by 9. I can't believe I'm letting you go out" Is abusive.
Telling your partner about your plans is fine. Having a partner demand to always know where you are, who you are with, and getting upset about you not only hanging out with them is a MAJOR red flag for abuse
We usually do. Not every minute of every day, but we usually talk in the morning about what our plans for the day are and then talk in the evening about anything interesting that happened during the day. If we're going to be out somewhere in the evening, we share with each other where we're going to be and approximately when we expect to be home.
I've never really thought about why we do it, but I guess it's probably because we have interest in each other's lives and since we live together, when we will or won't be home affects the other person (like if she has a dinner meeting for work I need to know that I should not wait for her to come home to eat dinner and things like that).
As you said, it's not about controlling or lack of trust because we both trust each other. It's just about respect for the other person and the impact that our schedule might have on them.
The Chinese social credit system took her from me. She's scared to contact me now, for fear of what I might say that they don't like. And I'm afraid of getting careless with what I say, or that Zuck might be selling them my info. So I might be on a watchlist and not even know it. Unless something dramatic turns everything around, I may have just lost her forever.
She rarely told me anything, and rarely asked to know what I'm up to. If she were curious, I would've told her. Guess I just need to find someone local, and stop agonizing over her. Then, maybe I can have a meaningful relationship capable of answering your question.
I'd want to know when she would be home and who she was with or what she was doing, but not every time. Pretty much just the first times because there may be certain people I wouldn't want her hanging out with (no guys one on one) and certain activities to avoid (drinking alcohol or going to bars, etc.). Other than that, just when she would be home.
I'd tell her about who I am with and where I am going to be if she wanted to know too.
Me: I'm at home playing games. Next day, Me: I'm going to Gamestop and Taco Bell. Oh, now I'm home again. lol Next day, who I am with, Me: I'm at home with my friends playing D&D. lol
I don’t have an SO currently, but if I did then I would absolutely tell her my whereabouts for safety reasons and most importantly because I love, trust, and respect her. I would expect her to do the same, but perhaps I shouldn’t get too angry if she refuses or if she doesn’t.
YES 👏 YES 👌 YES 🙌
Yes I do. Do not have too. The misses do tell aswell.
Even send a message to my mom. Only to mom if flying Some place or traveling over a vast distance.
Incase something would happen. Tell when I leave and if I got there safely.
Mom do that aswell towards me.
Since I don't have a SO, previous relationship we would tell each other always. Like "hey babe I'm going out tonight with Jack and John to Mystic I'll let you know when I'm home". Later on around 1am or 2am I'd get a message that he is safely at home. I did the exact same. I think its just respect, you have nothing to hide. But neither of us asked to let each other know, it was just natural.
Never been married but been in relationships with that much communication. Most she was given was things like "hanging with Tyler. Going to a poker night". That's it. If it goes late then it goes late. Might text here and there throughout the night with whatever
Not in a relationship, but I grew up learning that you let people know where you are and roughly how long you’ll be.
Now, if someone constantly forgets that I told them anything, they hide so I can’t find them to tell them, and make a habit of stuff like that, then no, I often won’t tell them. It’s half and half.
Not a chance. Im always finding something to do. I keep myself busy. When Im not yeah Ill occasionally let her know where Im at. I will say its a nice gesture to tell your SO when your getting home. I find it hard to sleep if I know she isn't home. I dont expect her to give me tabs of her days, just when she out and bout late at night let me know that way In around in case of an emergency.
Awww so sweet
I do tell them I'm going to be busy. My girlfriend isn't even in the same country. I just like to let her know what's going on sometimes I do talk about who's going to be with me or what's going on. If she wants to tell me what she's doing as she's done before, so forth. I don't care. Open communication even countries away builds trust.
Yes 👏
@DizzyDesii It's not like I have anything to hide. If it wasn't so weird to hold my phone in front of me when I'm doing everything, and she wanted to watch/join the conversation I'd do it.
I don’t tell my guy every detail of every day no. Not that I don’t want to just that I don’t think it necessary. He generally knows things like “I’m going shopping and may grab lunch with so and so” but he doesn’t know every person I may encounter or spend time with because it’s just too much effort to be that informative and he would t like being bombarded with that stuff anyway.
I did when I was in a relationship and he did too. It wasn't that we didn't trust each other we cared about each other's safety and also we liked to keep in touch, we were close and in regular contact. We were in love and always thinking of each other so it wasn't abnormal
Yes, I tell him my every minute of every day... I just do it because I am letting him know how my day is and I am interested in hearing how was his day as well.
Yesssss 🙌
If I mention it. I guess like. "Hey, going to the movies with X, be back later." If she needs me and wants to know if I'll be home for dinner, she can text me. And if I'm out grabbing a bit with my buddy, then I'd expect her not to have an issue with that. Just sounds like normal being adult stuff?
Of course. What happens if I dont and something happens to me. He won't know where I was or where I was going
Yes I do for safety reasons just in case something happens, you know. cause we live in a scary dangerous world, never know what might happen. And I'd want my partner to do the same if possible.
Yes I do because I expect the same in return. I worry a lot when we are apart. 😢😇
