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.
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.
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.
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).
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?
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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’ve got nothing to hide.
except when I’m getting her surprise birthday present
Asking? Sure.
Demanding? Fuq no
Damn right, no way

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 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

That's true. Everyone else in the world knows where you are at. Government. Big Tech. Cell Provider. Third Party Apps.
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.
