do you and DH share your locations on your phones?

[buggeroo]

just curious really. DH and I have never done this, and I wondered if that is the norm?

Yep!!

My friend has it for this exact reason.

He says to her that if she doesn’t have it on then she must be up to no good.

Pretty much how every one of these threads goes.

Good grief no! Why on Earth would we stalk each other like that.
I tell him where I'm going and roughly when I'll be back, if he's around when I go out. He does the same - as does adult DS who lives here. But I wouldn't want to be tracked.
I went away recently for a couple of days with an old school friend, to meet up with another old school friend. DH knew which town I was going to and how I was getting there but didn't know the address where I was staying nor everywhere we were going whilst we were away. I also didn't know what time I'd be home so just whatsapped when I was leaving to make the return journey.
I have a friend who tracks their family members and vice versa. She gets messages from her adult DD saying things like "what are you doing in Marks and Spencer ?". No way would I put up with that!

Not a bloody chance am I letting anyone track my movements, not even DP.

(Yes, I know Google et. al. likely know everything. I'm talking about individuals.)

Nope, we don't even track the kids. I find it intrusive

No.
He would like to but I think it's an unnecessary invasion of privacy so don't. As I'm not a small child or a possession I don't see the need.

Yes, and find it really useful if we're meeting somewhere etc. Neither of us has anything to hide!

We do as dh goes hiking most weekends in remote areas. I never check it but if he had a bad accident and couldn’t walk, like the guy who broke his hip and wasn’t found for a few days, I would be able to check hi location.

Absolutely not!

It's certainly controlling to track children. It does nothing to make them safer and stops them learning how to manage themselves when outs.

We do as dh is self employed and it was just so annoying trying to work out where he was, when he would be back, disturbing him when he was in the middle of eg painting, mowing, up a ladder etc. I can see how far away he is.

Means I can get off the sofa 5 minutes before he is home and look busy!

Joke. Not really joking

No. I'll share it if I'm driving home from the hospital at silly o'clock or if he wants to know when to put dinner on, but we've never shared location other than that.

I have an iPhone so have find my on it. DH has some crappy Motorola phone so have no clue what that uses for location so no, we don't share

We do but we don't check it routinely it. Recently I did use it when DH told me he was on his way home from the hospital where he'd been for a blood test and didn't reappear after an hour or answer his phone or messages. Turns out he was in A&E being a Good Samaritan for someone who had collapsed while he was waiting for the bus. I trust he'd only use it in similar circumstances. We tend to be quite hot on updating each other on our whereabouts and on the journey home etc so this would only be a last resort.

Absolutely.

The more we normalise stuff like this, the more it can be used by dangerous people under the guise of "well, everyone else does it, so why won't you?".

I wonder how many supporters of it would be happy if their daughters got into a relationship with a man who insisted on knowing her every move?

I didn't use it for my DC either. They flatly refused!

I am from a certain culture people think of as controlling, as a pp said upthread, but not all of us fit the stereotype of controlling men and meek women.

Nup, never even crossed my mind. DD yes but not DH, if he wants me to know where he is he will let me know.

No. I think it's bizarre to want to keep track of your partner and don't see why it's necessary. I go to a lot of evening meetings as part of my work and drive through some areas where I wouldn't feel safe on foot, so I generally ring my husband to let him know when I'm leaving for safety reasons - it takes 20 seconds - and other than that, it's no-one else's business where I am!

Nope.

No, it’s never really come up. I don’t give a stuff if other couples do and people judgemental about it should pipe down. It’s none of their business.

I have extremely health relationships with husband and DC, but refuse to have it.

What's your "analogy" about "if you have a healthy relationship and if not it could be problematic"

Total crap you are spouting!

Never crossed our minds. Haven't shared my location with anyone tbh
