Is it weird to want to share locations with your spouse?
I asked my husband to share with me yesterday and he blew up. At first, I got kind of suspicious because what do you mean, you don’t want to share your location with me? Why not? What are you hiding? But then he explained from his pov it sounded like I was implying he is untrustworthy and that I feel like I need to check up on him. This isn’t the case. I wanted to share just because sometimes I idly wonder what time he’ll be home or if he can stop at a grocery store on his way etc. and I assumed it would be easier and simpler for me to check his location than to text him and wait for him to respond back. Constantly texting him to pick stuff up on his way home feels like nagging and bothering him. Anyway, what side are you on? Is it weird or not? |

| His response is super shady, TBH. It's perfectly reasonable to do this with a spouse. |

| My husband, teenage kids, and I all share locations with each other. It is a basic safety issue and also convenient when I can see he hasn't left work yet so won't be home for dinner in 15 minutes or the kids are still at a friend's and haven't been picked up yet. We trust each other, I can't imagine a reason we wouldn't do this. |

| No, it would never occur to me to track my spouse. Like WTAF. |

| His response is way over the top. DH and I share locations. I think I have checked it twice. I actually forgot we shared. Now we share location with our kids and that is super convenient. |

Op here. Yeah we share with our teens too and I find it to be convenient. That’s why I asked. I have no intention or desire to track him all the time, just the occasions when I am waiting on him and wondering how long it’ll take to get to where I am. But he sees it as some strange trust issue. |

| It feels odd as most people's only experience with location sharing is before 21 with their moms monitoring it to keep them out of trouble. The idea of someone only using your location even if only for emergencies sounds like parenting to them. |

| I don't share my location with my husband or vice versa. To us it doesn't serve any purpose. |

| We don't share locations. |

Oh sure. |

My DH and I share with each other because there is absolutely nothing he can't know and he feels the same way. Anyone with a reaction like yours is most definitely hiding stuff. |

I got the same response years ago. We are divorced now. |

His response is abnormal. We share in my family. I rarely look at my husband’s, and I doubt he looks at mine, but it’s good in an emergency.
Your husband is being sus. |

My spouse and I share locations, not to "track" each other but for convenience. I'll say I'm heading to a happy hour with my office and 2 hours later he can see I'm still there and he should just grab his own dinner, or vice versa. We trust each other and each do social things without each other, but don't have to text or call to coordinate plans as much. In the unlikely event of some emergency, like the time my car broke down on the side of a rural road, he was able to locate me and get me some assistance. |

| We share. No big deal. It's pretty practical. |
