That's crossing the line into some big brother shit. It's one thing wanting to know where your significant other is going if they say they are heading out, but asking and requesting their location shows insecurity and lack of trust in my eyes.
I ask my girlfriend where she is heading if she heads out for the night and I don't think much of it because she has shown me that I can trust her time and again.
When I was still in a relationship, my partner wanted to share location. For the most part I didn’t care because I am the kind of person who doesn’t leave my place unless I absolutely have to. I mainly used to to see when I should expect her to arrive at my place if she were to drive over but I never cared about what she did when we were away.
Any other situation though I’d say it’s a red flag because it’s a massive risk of abuse of power. I see parents fall for this trap every time it was used.
I personally don't believe in tracking someone is a good thing there's always going to be that question about why we're you at that place and why did you spend so much time there. I think it's an invasion of one's privacy. That's just how I think about it and I do know some people that are doing that with their s/o and it usually turns into some kind of arrangement.
Controlling. Lack of trust. Do not ignore these giant red flags. They will look large in the near future. If he doesn't trust you now, do you think it will get worse or better over time? Answer: it's only going to get worse.
What ever you like about this guy, your going to feel like his prisoner before long. I already know how this story ends... Not good. This is how love turns to hate. It's a virtual certainty.
This is the downside of youth and innocence.

Your future with this guy...
I say why not, what if something bad happens, it will come in handy to know where your last location was. Personally, I share my location with family and friends, so I wouldn't mind sharing it with my significant other, as you said you are not hiding anything, sharing location doesn't have to do with them thinking you are hiding anything, I see it as safety measures.
It depends on the situation. If he worries about you, definitely share it. Unfortunately, awful things happening to young women isn't uncommon. You're definitely at higher risk of something happening to you if you ever go on a walk or run alone. I'd definitely want to have my location trackable if I were to go missing. It could be essential to my survival. I may sound paranoid, but stuff like this has actually happened to me. Don't risk it. If not a significant other, share your location with your best friend or family members.
If he doesn't trust you, then no. You're just enabling him to be toxic. If he can't trust you, then he's not ready to be in a relationship, period.
I have an app called Life360 where you can share your location. Me and my hubby have a group on there, and then there's a group with me, my mum, my sisters, my stepdad, and my hubby so we can all see our locations. Doesn't bother me
Well that depends on the situation. Does he do it often? Is it because he is worried for you, because u always go home late after work?
Did he do it because you dont tell him where you usually go, and he's worried? Or if you constantly lie?
Or is he plain controlling?
started out with the system because my kids have the tracking in their phone. one way we found my daughter's phone.
then my boyfriend and I set it up because we had some issues...
now that things are good.
Good thing came out of it, when my car broke down, my boyfriend knew exactly where I was and came to my rescue :)
I don't need to know the guy to tell yout that it's his insecurity talking.
It's understandable if you are the girl in the picture, any man would worry about a lot of competition.
That being said I don't particularly advocate against sharing locations. A relationship is all about loyalty and trust and these are fine demonstrations that you are willing to be an open book and hi has nothing to fear.
You can demand the same in return of course
I have no problem sharing my location with my boyfriend, but we have a good relationship. I only check his location to see if he’s still at work when I want to surprise him with a coffee or something. We are both open about our plans and what we are doing, so I feel no need to track him. It also gives me peace of mind that he has my location, incase something happens to me. Granted I don’t know what he would be able to do about it, but it still makes me feel better 💗
I don't know thinking if my boyfriend asked this I would accept, be a good safety thing but 99% of the time he would see me at work or home
What about 1% that's missing
At my parents, or a store somewhere
For what reason?
I know a girl who has social anxiety and only turns on her Snapchat location when she's out clubbing so her boyfriend knows where to find her and that she got home safe to her house.
I wouldn't share my location unless I felt unsafe.
I would suggest saying "what a great idea we can both share both our locations so when I am thinking of you I can see where we are at" If he even hesitates then say "If you love him you trust him. If he loves you he will trust you. "
Where has this world gone to. I just want to ask him where he is, him telling me where he's going or where he is and me believing him. And vice versa. I would never agree to it.
Clearly he doesn't trust you, or thinks you are some kind of damsel who will need to be rescued or some shit. In reality, he probably sees you as "his" and wants to know where "his" woman is at all times. Creepy af either way.
It seems a bit weird to me. My wife and i text each other when we go to a place and come back more for reassurance that we are safe nothing more. But sharing location is not something we have ever done. It depends on why he wants it and if he wants to share his with you. If he is keeping tabs on you that's no good, but if he is doing it for safety concerns or something similar that's alright i guess.
Dozens of responses saying he is controlling and not a single one asking why he wants it.. So sad.
What's his reasoning for wanting you to share your location? Is he just worried about your safety and are his concerns justified? Or is he trying to be controlling? Is he the jealous type? Jealousy and being controlling are big time warning signs of bad stuff to come.
Not really for it and I know my boyfriend isn't either because we need our boundaries and asking for your location is like watching over you 24/7 which can also feel suffocating.
I don't share my location with anyone on purpose. My location services stay off unless I'm using them.
It sounds like he doesn't trust you and is trying to stake his claim to you. This a typical reaction when some guys start having feelings for a woman. But he will probably be a possessive guy.
