Do u expect your partner to tell you when they go out if you’re temporarily distant?

[Anonymous]

Like.. hey Im going to meet a friend, to a hospital.. kinda..

we are currently long distance and I mostly tell her whenever i go out, but she dont

[crystalline0909]

It goes both ways. Usually partner are supposed to tell each other otherwise there comes a question of something meant to be hidden. Regardless it goes both ways. You tell her she tells you. If she doesn't ask her to. If she reacts in a negative manner then you should know what to do about it. But you have to have a strong ground before asking her so she can't point the finger at you about the same thing issue

I think it's a nice and good thing to do in general. You're a good partner!

It's not long distance, but if my SO is out with her friends or shopping or whatever, I text her to let her know I'm going out, with an approximate time of when I'll be back home. It's common courtesy that my parents taught me.

by the way, she does not do that with me. She just goes out and I have to guess when she might get back.

[ProbablyClueless]

Probably not, no. Unless there was something happening at the event I would care about; she's seeing a girlfriend I get along well with, her coworker tried to invite her to a bachelor party, or some such thing; I can't imagine that I would particularly want to know.

We don't tell this to each other unless location is relevant to a story or we just wish to share. Thus, for regular events (for me: gym, university for her: restaurant, university, library) we never mention it unless asked or there is a story to be told.

As long as she's not going to dangerous places, I don't specifically care where she goes, though it's nice to hear about her day after it has passed.

never dealt with long distance because what's the point. but when my actual partner that lives here goes out, yes he tells me. so yeah you should expect it. and if she doesn't, then it's odd.

[NuitBlanche]

Yes, would be nice so He can Tell me if there was any interesting

Definitely. I feel like that's our right to be informed and kind of responsibility on their part.

[sheikalana]

I live with my partner and we always keep each other updated when we're out of the house.

[Drumlin2001]

Not really. I mean of long distance I'd expect regular contact, video calls most days where possible, so chance it would come up in the conversations, bit not an explicit obligation. I would be annoyed if I felt they had deliberately not told me.

[Anonymous]

Thats very thoughtful. I would like him to tell me, but he doesn't. I wish he does or at least considers like you do. She’s a lucky girl

[Anonymous]

To a point that would become tedious. If it's something important then, yes.

[Manuel2]

No as I am not Andrew Tate or want a wife to be my slave

[Agape93]

Nope. I'm their partner, not their monitor.

[Anonymous]

No. That seems controlling.

[boobliker]

never have, i don't think they ever will!
