[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never: I am divorced in my 40s. I made my boyfriend at 23 return a cell phone for my birthday. I did not want to be accessible to anyone 24/7. Of course, now we are not where I am going is my privacy. No one is tracking me 24/7. No way in hell. [/quote]

I’m one of the pp’s above who has device location sharing turned on with my husband. It’s not like we “track” each other 24/7. Honestly I think we both forget that it’s even enabled most of the time. [b]But every once in a while, I’ll see if he’s left the office so I don’t need to bug him / text him about whether he’s left [/b]yet. The main use case for us is for travel, especially since we don’t need to be glued at the hip. I might spend an afternoon shopping in a town while he goes snorkeling, but it’s nice to know I could find him in an emergency. We don’t track and zero trust issues.[/quote]

That is weird. Why do you need to know if he has left the office? People did not used to have cell phones. They were better off. [/quote]

DP,  but my husband leaves the office at a Different time every day, I like to know when to start dinner.

Our family uses an app, we check on the kids as needed and really dinner is the only time I pay attention to where my husband is.

I do talk to the kids about dating/friendships and sharing location on Snapchat. I do not think that should be a normal part of teen/young adult relationships.[/quote]

You check on your kids, too? I am sorry but to me, none of this is normal: not in dating, no in marriage, not with kids. No news is good news. No one should be able to check on people at all times. It is a complete lack of freedom and privacy. No one can’t wait (whether that is minutes or hours) for someone to show up. [/quote]

I agree.  So thankful cell phones weren’t around when I was a kid.[/quote]
