Would you give it? Yes/no? Why/why not?
Would you do the same?
I was with a guy like that for three years and he would get mad if I didn’t call and talk to him and let him know where o was going for a simple place like the grocery store. Once I stayed at work late and I told him I was at work. He didn’t believe me and started calling my phone non stop. I couldn’t answer because I was with customers and he showed up at work. I wouldn’t be in a relationship like that again. I felt like I was in prison and had no friends.
Thanks for MHO
I’ve got nothing to hide. What would concern me is why would he need that information.

My partner asked me if I wanted to get on this app with her that tracks us. I said sure, because I don't really care.
I'll be completely honest... it was her idea, but I really use it the most to watch her when she's bringing out food home...
That sounds really insecure, fearful, and ridiculous. Some people believe that they can prevent bad things from happening, and themselves getting hurt, by keeping a tight leash on those they love. They're wrong.
I wouldn't like that. Seems a little stalkerish.. if he wants to know where I'm at then he can call me
If a girl is going to ask me she wants to be able to track me 24/7 I will definitly not appreciate it at all! It might even be a red flag for me because clearly it's very unhealthy in my opinion! For sure it will create drama sooner or later because of insecurity's and it will also give me the feeling that she has serious thrust issue's.
For me having a good relationship starts with thrust! If there is no thrust it means for me it's going to be wasted effort and time.
It happened to me in the past already and 1 time was more then enough for me. I felt like a prisoner in my own relationship because off her own insecurity's because she was desperatly searching for a mistake that I wasn't going to make anyway because I'm a honest person.
The goverment already follows me, at work they wanne know my every move so if my girlfriend is also tracking me 24/7 it will take my last bit of feeling free away from me.
She can ask me anytime where I am and what I'm doing but tracking me 24/7 is out of the question
A wife being able to find the husband if it seems like an emergency, then some abiity to track sort of makes sense. Having the phone settings set up so she can find me if I'm going to be going into dangerous city is one thing. Always checking up on me is a bit different. Insisting on it all the time is different.
Even though I am confident I would always pass that "are you cheating" test... just even unintentionally or unaware (because I'm honest), I still don't want the feeling of constantly being watched and tracked. If she's that possessive, I'm not interested on principle... it's not "I don't want her tracking me because I'm sneaking around" It's "I don't want her tracking my every move and being possessive, even though I'm being honest. It's STILL creepy."
And I want some freedom to change a tire or go grab McDonalds once in a while, or to be able to go to an extra store to look for something on a whim (because I couldn't find it at two other places) without her knowing every move, even if it's boring and honest. I'd probably shut off tracking for non emergencies.
Yeah, if she proposed that idea, I'd probably laugh in her face. No, that won't fly. If she can't trust me after six months of being honest (and I'm not giving her legit reasons to question me), then that's her issue to get over. I don't like possessiveness.
The two most important attributes in any relationship. Communication is first place and trust is second place. There are other important attributes, but the foundation of every single relationship must begin with these two. If Communication sucks and therebis jo trust then you might as well break up because you two do not take each other seriously.
I am best friends and roommates with a guy who is polyamorous and he has multiple girlfriends who are also polyamorous with him, and he is even a little bi-curious but has not done things with a dude yet, that I am aware of, but I have learned a lot about what I want in my relationships because of watching him and his experiences for the past 12 years.
His life looks interesting and appealing at times, but I prefer my women like my basketball style. Which is "one on one", in other words no other guys for her and no other gals for me. I am just with her and she is just with me.
But if she cannot trust me and I cannot trust her, then it is time to break up and move on.
I have nothing to hide so I wouldn’t mind , if someone is going to cheat on you they are going to cheat on you no matter what, so allowing each other to track each other shouldn’t be a big deal , I feel it’s more of a safety concern over anything , say you got in a car accident , or you lost your phone ect… , I rather my partner have access to my location over not having it at all , I think it’s more shady that you don’t want your location on at all honestly if you are in a relationship , it shouldn’t be a big deal , If my partner wants to watch my where bouts all day long then so be it , I would feel bad for her that she didn’t trust me and do my best to make her not feel so insecure , Everyone has insecurities whether they say they do or not , Why get mad over someone you supposedly love to be able to check up on you , the other thing is as well just because you turn your location off that doesn’t stop you from being tracked , everyone is tracked when they are connected to phone service , so why make a big deal about having your location shut off?
I've done this before - both ways. I have nothing to hide. It just makes it easier when she knows I'm still on a job vs. on my way home, and keeps me from having to stop and answer texts about "have you left yet?"
The only place that I ever go that's "questionable" is a fast-food drive-thru. Otherwise, I'm not at home, and not at work, I'm usually with her, or I'm handling some family obligation, which she usually doesn't attend but is welcome to do so if she wants.
When I'm wiring up a house, I usually come home with saw dust/drill shavings in my hair and on my clothes. If I'm installing speakers, I'm often wearing drywall dust. If I have to crawl under a house, I'll have dirt or mud on my knees, elbows, and toes. Not every day is a "dirty work" day, but many are.
I brought my last girlfriend to work for a day, because she was questioning why I was often tired at night. She barely made it through the day, and I didn't make her work, I just made her follow me everywhere I went, including every trip up and down stairs and up and down ladders. Most importantly, she could see that I never stop working once I start - I'm driving, then I'm talking to the customer, then I'm working, then I'm talking again, then I'm driving to the next job. One day at my job seemed to answer every question, because she never worried about it again. LOL.
Oh I'd have fun with her if she demanded that I have a tracker on my person. Firstly, it would be the death blow to the relationship, but fuck it lets have fun. One gag I would play on her would be the tracker on a rat and let it run all over the place. Then her retarded ass would start following the tracker not knowing it was on the rat. I would record her chase, put it all over social media, monetize like it was was no one's business, profit like a bandit, then return a year later on someone's video to do an episode of "Where Are They Now?"
Another gag I would do is put it on an RC car and drive it all around her friend's property. Because lets face it, any time a woman comes up with a dumb idea of putting a tracker on her man, it was sanctioned by the council of the sisterhood, hence her friends. So why not sow some back stabbing and a little violence between she and her friends?
The answer is no for me. My husband and I don’t track each other. I had the tracker app on my children’s phones but didn’t use it often - only if I felt I needed to check on them (I usually found out they were where they told me there were- and yes I know they can put their phone in someone’s mailbox. So we have a rule that if they don’t answer phone gets taken away.)
long story short I find it invasive, that’s just my personal opinion. You can narrow it down to not only the pin point location but zoom in to see the exact building they are in. If you have trust issues that deep maybe you shouldn’t be in the relationship.
I wouldn't think that's necessary. Autonomy between a couple is so important to have a healthy relationship. Having a tracker 24/7 can become extremely obsessive and toxic if it's not handled appropriately.
I understand sharing your location if your partner is going on an extended road trip, or doing something that might require reassurance for safety measures etc. but for everyday use is just extreme.
If that's what a partner wants, you should be questioning his/her trust issues, insecurities, obsessive behaviour, controlling, it can open a whole can of worms. And if you really want to go deep, someone suddenly wanting that from their SO could be projecting their own behaviour if they're doing things behind their partners back.
Phew!
We use a app for that, not so much that we can track each other, which we can but more that if something happens we know the last known location, at least of their phone.
We don't have to ask permission or justify or anything like that, it is... I'm heading to the store, and if I happen to detour, no big deal but if I feel like checking (or they checking) I/we can.
I got annoyed by all the notifications and turned them off, so I have to actively look to see where he is.
I don't see an issue with it, then again we are married so... wouldn't do that if we weren't.
If he got real annoying and controlling about where I went, then that could be a problem, but we are both pretty relaxed about it.
Demanding your S/O for their global location and wanting to know where they are every hour of every day is nothing but controlling and toxic behavior. It shows you have a lack of trust in your relationship and your obsessed over your partner's so much so that you can't help but always wonder what they're up to, who they're with or what they're doing.
If my partner behaves this way, I'll first of all ask them why they want my location. Do they not trust me when I tell them what I'm doing? Is this what we're doing now? Can't they respect that I have a life, a hobby and friends other than just them? If they can't learn to give me my personal space, then no. Not only am I not giving them my GPS location, but I'll also tell them that they can hit the road instead. If the roles were reversed, I'd let them have their own space as well, in fact, I'd urge them to.
While it is creepy and possibly controling, as long as she would be satisfied with only knowing where I am without trying to order me where I can or cannot go, I would be willing to share location with her.
I mean she could ask me afterwards how was my day and where I went anyways.
HOWEVER, I would be thinking why she needs to know that. Whether she isn't planning to be unfaithful or something. After all getting aggressive and trying to find proof of cheating is often a strategy of unfaithful people to shift the blame for breaking up to their partner.
Well, we don't need to because we tell each other where exactly at or were heading. We send pictures or videos of the place or people with us and even the activity we do. We do this not becuas we talked about it. Never happened. It just become natural for us. And no one demanded for that. And as I see it and as I told my SO before, it's not about trust issue but it's more of respect. Especially when you do things separately.
That's why recently when he failed to tell me where he's at and got to know it later when he's at that place already. I felt a little bit off like I'm a bit disrespected by him.
Ha. I’m pretty much a homebody right now, especially since I’m grinding hard for my online business. So… That GPS is going to be boring as f*ck to watch. 😂
It’ll just be like: Mhm. Yup. There he is. Working from home. Again. Like he has been all week. All month. Mhm. Yup. OH WAIT, HE’S MOVING. Oh. He’s just getting the mail. He’s back to his studio now…
But, in terms of the request to know my location 24/7, that would kinda piss me off a little. Like: Wow. You don’t trust me THAT much, huh? Just… Wow… I need a moment to think… *long pause, thinking about what possibly could have made her ask me something like that* … What is going on? Why do you feel like you need that? Really. Tell me. What’s going on?
Oh. I thought you meant GPS tracking. I read the question too fast. 😂
I've been w/controlling and insecure men like this. My now husband was like this in the beginning! He wanted to know where I was all the time, who I was with, who I was texting/calling, when I was coming home, and he'd look on my phone so I had to put a PIN on it.
I'd say it took about a year! He didn't even like me seeing my own mom. He was paranoid I was really going to see some guy on the side, so he'd look on my phone that night. I got so sick of being accused of stuff. He finally told me his ex had cheated on him and they were together for 10 years so that was the reason he was being that way. But I still keep the PIN on my phone
I wouldn't be okay with him demanding my location. But recently I was attacked by a man after work and it made me realize how fast a criminal could attack and possibly take me hostage. It would be nice to know my husband could find me as long as I have my phone on me.
Weird and sounds a bit controlling. Some people are controlling by nature and others become controlling because of bad experiences with their last relationships. They ended up becoming insecure cause their boyfriend/girlfriend either dropped them out the blue or they were cheated on. That caused them to have trust issues and now they have to know what their S. O. is doing at all times just to make sure their not gonna get left/cheated on again.
I Didn't say that, I was simply going an explanation as to if why someone would go to such lengths in wanting to track their S. O.
Maybe a real difference perspective.
But more concerned with safety.
I could care less about what she’s doing but that we have clear communication.
Going out with friends great have a good time.
Visiting a old friend awesome…
Don’t text you got home safe?
I’m out looking for you.
Privacy is important for my SO
But she trusts, well knows! I’m out looking for her if she doesn’t come home.
If someone is less concerned with your safety and more concerned with control that is a problem. But if you value Your SO than what’s the problem?
Ohh hell no. That's creepy, controlling and to much over the top.
Like I personally also like to know where my loved ones are and I will sometimes call up my mom or sis and ask what they do and where they at but that's it, wish them a nice time and to text me when they get home safe or if they have a problem. But I would never surveillance someone else like that...
I do the same, as described, with a partner too, not only my family
Its like ‘Big brother’ in a relationship lol noooo thank you!
It's not without it's limitations. Some people have two phones, especially if they have a work phone.
If they wanted to run off for some adult fun, they just need to leave their phone at work, or family member's house. Go do the dirty, and be back into view before anyone suspected a thing.
There are people who also invest in camera systems for their home, to ensure a partner is not bringing the cheating home. One guys spent time mapping out a way to literally bring women home and miss every camera. Did it for years, because the wifey thought she was keeping a tight eye.
I would share mine w my ex for safety reasons. He didn’t demand it, it was sort of a mutual agreement. We didn’t pay attention to it half the time only when needed or when I was walking to my car from class just to make sure I was good.
In theorybid be happy for my safety but I know it indicated something is wrong with him snd he might become a threat to my safety
Depends
If he is demanding... nope...
if he happen to have an app for a reason otherwise , then maybe... if his overall attitude isn't controlling.
I'd be*.
Hits not like he knows who I'm with. Why would I want to hide that anyway?
I'm nit giving the mg my bank info 😂
Mf*
...
Absolutely not! If he doesn't trust me and I have to give him my location all the time, then why is he even with me? What do you have if you don't have trust? And no, I would never ask for that. Same reason. If I don't trust you, bye! It's wrong on so many levels.
I know people who do this and I'm glad it works for them, but heck nah.
Unless the person I'm dating is perpetually late (and I can use the location function to plan around how late they're gonna be), it's not worth it. Miss your partner when they're not there and trust them to have fun when you're not around.
'Here is my location dear. Track me all you want.' is what I would say.
I think just the location is enough. What people I meet, is my business entirely.
For this, I would need a really strong network of friends to falsify my location. At last, a location itself is just a smartphone right? You can use a temporary Gmail account similar to your real one, in that smartphone. It all works out if thought meticulously.
But to be honest, I would really not like to be this much crooked with my wife. I would like to be as good and straightforward with her as I can, as I do not want to breach her trust. Because once it is breached, it is done.
I would confront her on this behavior pattern face to face.
The above thing was just like that, but I would really ask her why. And then, based on her justification, I would suggest things.
The guys who do things like that some of them have trust issues mostly because they’ve been cheated on in the past so I’d do it just to ease his mind but I’m going to expect him to give me a shot and start trusting me after we’ve been dating for a month or two to not cheat on him. I’m not his ex cheater girlfriend after all.
The answer would be no lol. There would be no need for that because I'd let them know where I am or if I were going somewhere. I would be okay with them calling or texting me to see if everything is alright and stuff, but tracking me no. It's controlling and would mean that they don't trust me.
That kind of person couldn’t become my significant other. There’s this old fashioned concept that people seem to be lost on people these days: getting to know someone BEFORE you commit to anything. That kind of psychotic behavior is actually pretty easy to detect if you’re not a moron and/or driven entirely by sexual impulses.
This type of person stinks of unhealthy obsession and narcissism, I cannot STAND, partners who call my phone 5 times a day it drove me fucking mad to the point I no only ended the relationship but the friendship too to get her to stop, keep phone calls to 2 times a week!
Mate guarding is a thing and both guys and gals do it. Calling to ask about your day but really to see what you are doing etc. Unless you have something to hide - or might have - it is just standard. Early in a relationship that is just one of the things that is offered
I wouldn't have an objection if it was reciprocal. Being of a technical bent, you should probably be aware I 'll do monthly maps and analysis of where you will have been going. If you want it, I'll out tech you.
It’s a level of trust tbh. If they trust me and just want it for safety precautions I would allow it. If they want it 24/7 because they don’t trust me it would be a completely different relationship and I wouldn’t be me. I’m a homebody, and whenever I go out honestly I’d tell my S/O anyway.
Id say ‘track this!’ Flip her the bird and leave forever lol 🖕
My husband and I share each other’s locations with each other 24/7. However it’s not like either of us “demanded” it or we obsessively check on each other all the time. It’s more for just safety reasons. I check it sometimes to see if he made it to work safely or if he’s on his way home. But most of the time I forget I even have it.
It's good to be back lol.
Nope. That's like they don't trust me or something. I ain't taking that.
I mean we use life360 so we can always check eachother any time. It's extremely useful and honestly just a nice safety precaution. If someone loses they're phone, needs to know what the ETA for being home is, etc...
I have a good friend that his wife is constantly badgering him on where he's at what he's doing and who he's talking to. Every time I call him he's so badgered by his wife. She is very abusive. I have also talked with him about how important it is to leave her. I think she's also going to trace on his phone. His life is miserable I think he's afraid his wife.
I have nothing to hide and wouldn't be doing anything shady that would make a woman want to that. I would get suspicious and tell her "if you're tracking me, I'm tracking you" and we can both get that stupid app.
Some people have trust issues, and some people live secret lives behind people's backs.
Am I the only one who would freak out because now I have to go to interesting places all the time so they still think I'm cool and mysterious and I can't just sit at home on a Friday with a good book?
He has me on a tracking app. I ride motorcycles up canyons and all over. It’s safety. No problem with it. We tell each other everything anyway.
Controlling outside of genuine care is a huge 🚩 though. There is a big difference.
No, I don't mind offering my partner a meassure of control over me to make her feel safe but I got my own stuff to do. Somtimes I'll be late and I would hate to feel like I'm with someone who has no respect for things I need to do or people I need to see.
u depends on the circumstances...
we have actually done it before, because of safety concerns and valid reasons...
if it is from paranoia and jealousy, controlling issues and insecurity... then no, that's not cute at all... lol
Absolutely not.
That's insane parent shit. My partner can text me to ask where I am adhoc and I'll tell them where I'm going before hand.
I'm not about to entertain a relationship with someone who can't trust me.
Id be super pissed off , these kind of actions are not sure , means they are an absolute control freak.
Put it this way. Only a court can demand you wear a tracking device 24/7 and even they must make a case and time limit.
Anyone other than that asks you for 24/7 tracking, you ask them to give you a fucking court order or GTFO.
Me, my significant other, my sister, and my dad and step mom are all on it. Everyone was for it. It's about safteyqq
I trust and respect her enough not to need that. We already give various corporations and governments that capability via our cell phones, so unless you plan on giving up your phone you consent to tracking.
I wouldn't be dating a control freak like that.
Obviously, if I am going to be somewhere where a mobile signal doesn't exist, then they can't contact me there.
But they need to learn some basic concepts of boundaries - I'm not her infant, her eight year old boy and as an SO, I'm not necessarily her husband either.
That would be an invasion of my privacy. She can always call me if she needs to get in touch with me, doesn't need to track me.
i work crazy hours and am on the road a lot. my partner often makes dinner if i’m coming home late and so instead of him messaging me to see where i am/when i should be home, i shared my locations indefinitely so that he can check where i am and dinner will be ready and warm by the time i get home. there’s no toxicity or control in the relationship, it has made it a lot easier for us (doesn’t work for everyone).
I’ve got nothing to hide.
except when I’m getting her surprise birthday present
Asking as in a request. Demanding as in they are entitled to.
Unlike @Still-alive, I would take a bit of a diplomatic route here. I do not want to hurt her as well. If there is any misunderstanding on her part, may be clear that well too.
Negotiations and discussions are important everywhere it seems.
uhm no if u want to know where i am all the time than come with me... you are my significant Other right? So join me :) it won't be a problem "babe" ;)
Hell no. Wanting to know your location, checking your partner's phone, all that screams of distrust. If you can't trust your partner, why have a relationship?
I would let them no where I was going if anything was to happen. As for the tracking I'm not ok with that to be honest
If it bothers you having your significant other knowing your location at any time, then you’ll be really upset when you find out how your phone tracks your every move and then monetizes that information.
We both leave our location on so 🤷🏻♀️ doesn’t bother me
Lmaoooo yeah... no I wouldn't do that. I would let him know that I'm safe somewhere but there is a limit before it becomes controlling.
If you don't have trust, you don't have anything. So I'd guess we didn't have anything and dump the crazy bitch and count my blessings.
There are certain apps with GPS connection through phones. I would suggest them we use that app.
