Bullshit. Would you be willing to let your spouse or anyone else just go completely through your phone, reading all your text messages and all your emails and seeing everything you’ve ever searched for? I wouldn’t and it’s not because I’m cheating. It’s because we’re all entitled to a little bit of privacy!

One, I absolutely would and do. My DH and I frequently pick up each other's phones and use them. BECAUSE neither of us is nervous about it, we give each other the respect of privacy.

Two, sharing your location is NOWHERE near going through your entire phone and seeing everything you have ever written.

You are absolutely hiding something.

Op, if you're so inclined, find out the truth based on other things.

It's been very helpful for us in various situations. Again, only people with something to hide get paranoid.

I never said I wouldn’t let anyone “use” my phone. I said I wouldn’t want anyone going through all of my messages and emails and searches.

Still, I'm not sharing. There would have to be some health crisis or some reason I can't even imagine. It's just a mindset. Drop your objection, Op.

You said a lot without actually saying what your POV is.

Also, OPs husband has no problem checking on his wife so whatever his objection might be is not relevant when it comes to other people, apparently. So hyopcriutical. I would most definitely not be "dropping the objection."

It would only be hypocritical if he had asked OP to share her location, which he apparently did not. She chose to.

I’m also old (mid 50’s) and would feel like a creep tracking my husband’s location. Ick. Clearly generational.

only people with something to hide ..

So ridiculous. Ridiculous thinking.

No one is doing that by you simply sharing your location with your wife, so not even sure what you're going on about.

I recently shared my location when I was on a long solo road trip with our kid. Outside of some specific reason, it's creepy to me.

I'm not the pp you're responding to, but yes, I would.

He felt it necessary to ask her originally and get it set up on his phone.

Since there are - obviously - different points of view, why OP, would you choose to think the worst?

I would never share my location with my DH. I am a SAHM and he doesn’t need to be judging me if I stay home all day, spend a few hours at the gym, etc.
I’m not cheating, married 20 years and love my DH but just no.

I imagine because anyone I share my life and my bed with shoudln't feel nervous about me knowing where they are. Crazy I know.

Knowing where they are? They deserve privacy. Unless they are doing something immoral or illegal, the right to privacy is a fundamental right.

Even if married.

So if you called your wife on the phone and said "hey hon, where are you?" and she responded with, "none of your business. I need my privacy." that's totally ok with you?

OP here. Yes, that’s correct. When he set it up, he sent me a prompt to share my location.
