Nope. Nope. Nope.
I know couples that do this. And they get in so many little fights about... everything related to this. Not cute fights either, where they end up laughing. Serious "we're breaking up and getting a divorce" fights.
Maybe I'm too old for this sort of thing. It sounds manipulative. I mean, if my partner were to ask to do this, and I said "no," wouldn't that open the door to some wildly speculative series of questions? And then we would know our locations...and what happens if it turns off? Or one of us forgets our phone? More fights over nothing. Or worse: Remember Courtney Clenney? One of the fights that lead to a murder was about location sharing.
I feel if a couple is facing issues with this, the couple has other issues and this is just the catalyst. If you have a normal, healthy relationship, why would this cause any issues? It is just a convenience/safety thing.
Right? My wife and I can check each other's locations, but we only use it if the other person has been gone longer than expected, and that's just to make sure they're okay.
