[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No we don't share, nor would I.  We very occasioally turn it on if one of us will be alone in a remote place just for safety but otherwise no. I don't need to know where he is every single second and he doesn't need to know where I am. I have zero interest in tracking him and have zero interest in being tracked. I am someone that likes privacy and wouldn't be with someone who needed to be able to check on me 24/7 and know where I was at all times.

And if my teen daugher told me that her boyfriend wanted to track her and needed to know where she is at all times, I would not tell her oh that is so sweet and loving, he just clearly cares about you so much. I would tell her to run. [/quote]
It's pretty sad that you relate adult marriages with teen flings. Beyond bizarre to consider those the same situation. [/quote]

I don't associate it with any healthy relationship and it isn't something I would model for my teens or tell them would be healthy for them now or later. I don't think needing to track and know where your partner is at all times is healthy in any relationship at any age. Cell phones are definitely a convenience but the idea now that it means that you expect access to people at all times isn't a positive. I also tell them that they aren't required to answer every message immediately - that they do not need to be at anyone's beck and call. I personally think a lot of harm is done to relationships when we see cell phones as this tether and we track people and require them to answer within x minutes or else. But I get that [b]for many, they like control[/b] and so they model and teach that for their kids. [/quote]
Ah, the crux of your issue. You view your spouse having potential access to your location as "controlling". Found the cheater! [/quote]
