Never went to work in a snowstorm? Or heavy rain?
I’m not OP, but my wife and I share locations, it’s endlessly convenient for coordinating. Never abused.
The peace of mind knowing that your significant other didn’t just die in a car crash part way to their destination and are still making progress is significant.
Bless you but the moment I start being afraid of my partner dying everytime they leave the house will be the moment I’m getting back in touch with my psychologist.

Imagine being this sanguine about death. I genuinely envy your naïveté.

You’re kind of putting words in my mouth here.
I didn’t say that I’m afraid of him dying every time they leave the house, you said that.
I’m afraid of them dying when they’re traveling 20 hours. Or over a mountain pass. Or various other reasons. They travel a lot and I get worried that’s just how it is.
When calculating travel costs, I also dug up some statistics and figured what the chance of crashing, injury and death were based on how much driving we do on an annual basis based on national averages.
I actually thought knowing that would make me less stressed about all the travel but it didn’t help because the numbers are kind of depressing.

These same people who are suggesting you live in fear of your partner dying are also afraid their partner might find their porn collection. It’s staggering. To describe location or password sharing as “vile” just puts into perspective the kind of people you’re talking to.
I knowy wife’s phone password, must have trust issues. Or we go on car rides and her phone is connected and the kids want me to put a song on. Should we pull over so she can unlock her phone? Vile.
Too many folks think it’s to keep tabs on people, because that’s presumably how they’d use it, they’d sit there and watch it.

FR. It’s just projection.
