She does.

I have my location shared with my wife because while I was working out of the house I got tired of answering the same text message (“how far from home are you so I can start dinner?”) every afternoon. She’s the only one in the world I have no secrets from, so I just never turned it off. I honestly don’t know if she still knows I’ve got it shared with her.

That’s really not the type of person she is, or the type of relationship we have. She might well know that I’m still sharing with her, but it’s not because she’s controlling or untrusting. It would be because she had a reason to check recently.

It’s so hard to tell. I’ve been online for almost 30 years and I still can’t tell most of the time.

Yeah, my wife has mine and I know she doesn’t use it as often as she could, because I’ll get the text, and I’ll be like hey, just check the location. Both or jobs take us different places every day (that we aren’t home), and so neither of us have a schedule, and so rather than the same texts every day, “When you home,” when we’re trying to figure out the kids, or dinner, or camps, or I have to go to work at night, or she has a book club meeting, or whatever other myriad things happen every day, we can skip that step. Or we have the ability to, and my wife forgets about it.

Having my location shared and a shared calendar has been a godsend for us. Honestly we would each probably miss like half of our appointments if my the other wasn’t able to say “hey don’t you have that thing…?” or “hey aren’t the kids supposed to be at that place in twenty minutes…?”. I can imagine location sharing makes that even easier because you’d know if it’s even possible for them to make it, or if you need to get them ready or whatever.

To me it’s weird that people have issues with this. My wife and I, married 35 years, share each other’s locations because if something bad happened we would want to be able to find each other. I don’t even give a second thought to, “…and I can make sure she isn’t cheating on me.”

Honestly, with the current political situation in my country, this might be a good idea.

This is how it works with us too.
I’m kind of neurotic and get worried that something may have happened to her while she’s traveling, which she does a lot. If she’s supposed to arrive somewhere and hasn’t I start pacing and biting my nails thinking of all the bad things that could have happened.
We shared each other’s location and the peace of mind has helped a lot.
We don’t keep secrets from each other. Some folks in this thread see location sharing as a threat, I assume because they are uncomfortable or have existing trust issues with their relationship that are yet to be resolved?

The solution to this is to deal with the neurosis, not to try and control all the information. You’re giving in to your negative thoughts with unhealthy behaviour instead of dealing with it properly.

Different people and relationships can have different solutions that work for them. That’s OK!
