If my wife said, out this tracker on your phone, of tell her she doesn't need the tracker to see me headed to the nearest divorce attorney.
If she doesn't trust me, then it's all over. Any spouse that wants to know your whereabouts all the time is doing it for two reasons. They don't trust you, or they don't want to run into you while they are stepping out on you. Either option is signs of a bad relationship. |

I've found when a woman doesn't trust a man in a long term relationship...the woman is cheating, which is what she figures her man is doing too...Just an observation..Now both people tracking...I could see that as a just in case something bad happens...type deal..I don't know, hope I am wrong, but over the years always seems to be true in the end...

If your spouse has to track you out of lack of trust, your relationship is broken and needs to be fixed ASAP.

My wife and I do this. We have two younger daughters and this helps me keep track of them all and make sure they are safe. Its getting pretty wacky up here in WA with crime, so we consider it another safety measure.
I take long outdoors trips and this also allows her to see where I am. We have been together 14 years, we both trust one another so its never been an issue. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MacManus: to each their own, but my wife and I choose not to do any of that tracking shit, including our kids' phones. The whole decision for us boiled down to: it frames the entire relationship from a place of distrust, and that's not the kind of relationship we want to have with each other or our kids. One could argue that it is only people who fear distrust in a relationship that would feel that way. As others have mentioned it is nothing more than useful tool. I've gotten a call before of "I was just in a bad accident. I turned on XYZ road but I'm not sure where I'm at.". That road is 20 miles long between towns. Child "I can't find my phone and might have left it at school.". My response "Google Maps shows it is somewhere around the house". It was found in the vehicle. Back in August a member here made a post that started with this: I got one of those calls no parent wants to get at 9:32 a.m. this morning: (hysterical and screaming) "Dad, HELP!, hurry, hurt bad, can't move" (and then phone dropped) But whatever not having someone with hurt feelings is better than better than being able to help a spouse or child. Right? If there is distrust it is going to be there regardless of if it is acknowledged or not. Avoiding an issue doesn't make it go away but it might make it so you don't have to talk about it as much. I wouldn't call that healthy. |

My wife and I use Apple Family to keep tabs on the each other, the kids, and my FIL. We also use Verizon family as a backup. It’s just a precaution in case there’s a medical emergency or God forbid some kind of kidnapping situation. There’s a lot of human trafficking in my area, especially for women.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SavedByTheBlood: Idk. My wife says for safety reasons but I know she'll just use it to see where I'm at on my way home and ask me to stop at various places( like for Italian ice) because she'll know I haven't passed it yet. Or just start complaining about the route I took home from the store isn't the fastest route or not the way she would go. So you would blame technology for your poor communication skills or lack of a spine in your relationship? How hard is it to say "I'm tired and just want to get home today" or "when drive you can decide what route to take". Or for the other people "Yes, I went to the gun store and I bought XYZ.". I'm not sure how people here manage to keep their relationships is these simple questions/answers are too hard and should be avoided. |

I was in Massachusetts for work with two coworkers. Having dinner at a sports bar, one of the guys phone rang. It was his wife wanting to know what he was doing in a bar. He told us she tracks him via his phone.
Fuck that. Here's a woman with no job that does nothing but sit at home, tracking her husband? Fuck that. If my old lady did that I'd kick her to the curb. |

If my wife wanted to I'd let her. I have the ability to track her cell. It's just for safety reasons only. I trust her 100% have for 35 years. To be honest though. I have all that tracking crap turned off on my phone. I tell her where I'm going and if I decide to go somewhere else I call her and let her know where I'm at.

I agreed to become one with her for the rest of my life. I don't really care if she knows where I am via my phone. I don't understand the guys saying it's a big deal to share location. It's a security thing, if someone doesn't show up when they are supposed to you can check on them. If we are both away from home doing our own thing and we can't get ahold of the other one, it's nice to know we can at least check to see where they are. It's not like I'm going to get scolded if she looks at it and sees me at the movies or something. Wanna know where I am? Fucking call and ask. If I'm late getting home from work I'm probably either at a gun shop or checking one of the eagle nests I watch. During fall I might have pulled off on public hunting land. Why waste the call when it's easy enough to convey that information without having to actually do anything? Because there are very, very few situations where anybody NEEDS to know where I am, NOW. |

People that insist on this type of stuff are the ones you can't trust.
Now if someone cheated, the other person accepted the apology, and they offered to be track to gain that person's trust again? That's fine. Feel like it's projection. If you've done nothing wrong to give your partner trust issues, they're own insecurities and likely thoughts of cheating themselves are being projected upon you. If some male Hollywood star said he puts trackers on all his girlfriends, he would be called an insecure creep. |

Wife can track my phone, I can track hers. Has nothing to do with trust or anything else, it's a safety measure and it simplifies communications. No need to call or text to find out where one or the other is at the moment.
I can turn it off if I really care to for some reason, but I've never had any reason to. Can't imagine where I would go that she can't know about, she's the same way with me. The only thing she really uses it for is to see when I leave work so she can have dinner ready when I get home. |
