Is it toxic to check my partner’s social media activity or location sharing?

Question

Jove79 · Accepted Answer

Nope. Women are very very very good cheaters. Most guys in relationships are lazy and complacent, they trust their woman very very well, and let their guard down.. the second you stop caring about who’s she’s talking to, it’s probably too late.

“It just shows he’s toxic and insecure” I’ll rather be toxic and insecure, then to have her meet up and suck someone’s cock without me never finding out.

A woman will love you to the fullest, and be obsessed with someone else getting pounded on the side.

Don’t be stupid and blind, know what’s going on at all times.

“If you don’t trust her, why be with her” it’s not about not trusting her, it’s about keeping her ass in check. because women are like cats, they walk around town to buy Starbucks and a handbag, and mysteriously come back pregnant.

NEVER fully trust your partner.

I would not do that as long as I had no grounds to suspect her behavior. As soon as I saw something that caused me concern, I would check. . . in hopes of learning that my suspicions were not well founded.

I think it just depends on why you're checking it. If I don't check my husbands location, a lot of times I won't know when he's going to be home be from work, or if he will be around for lunch. I scheduled my day around him, so that's important for me.

I am in regular communication with my boyfriend and I have checked him out online less than 5 times in the last 4 years via google, and I do not remember when we first started dating, I think it's been around 14 months or so.

Ah, the age of social media and location sharing. My aim here is to help you navigate through these tricky love situations. Stalking your partner’s activity might seem helpful, but it screams trust issues louder than a 90s boombox, my friend. Relationships flourish on trust and communication, not virtual surveillance. If you feel the urge to check their every virtual move, maybe it's time for a heart-to-heart chat. After all, love should feel like a warm hug, not a secret agent mission. 🕵️‍♀️💖

To constantly check that shows a lack of trust, and your own insecurity. It's toxic in a relationship.

princeofromance · Answer

Yes, because it shows a lack of trust in the relationship.

Why toxic?
I check the social media activity of everyone I care about, my parents, brother, friends etc
Why would I deliberately ignore the activity of the person I’m supposed to be in love with and committed to?

That’s the whole point of social media: letting people know what you’re up to

As for location, well as a safety measure it’s not a bad idea to look.
If something happened to her I’d wish I caught on early and reacted

OneViewpoint · Answer

I don't know about toxic but it's obsessive self destructive behavior. It screams insecurity and trust issues. Plus it changes nothing. If your partner is gonna hook up with someone else they're not gonna stop because you track them with their phone. If anything you'll make them want to get away from you even more.

Screenwriter · Answer

Why are you concerned about your partner's social media activity? Or where they're going? They're adults aren't they? You have trust in your relationship with them don't you?

If you don't, then leave. You cannot control another person, and who wants to.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

It is if they never actually done anything to make you distrust them and if you do it all the time, it seems a bit strange. I think checking once in a blue moon to make sure you don't get blindsided one day is fine and normal.

I don't intrude on his privacy unless he gives me reason to. We do have a mutual agreement when it comes to location though. If he (applies to me too) goes too long without checking in too the point of worry, then we check locations. Like, if he gets off of work at 4pm and don't hear from him by 5 and isn't picking up, I'll check his location

To be honest, I don’t even know what’s toxic from what’s not toxic anymore because this gender war of what the does and don’t are so frustrating
