Ah -- I guess I should've been a bit more specific -- by GPS I just meant "some app that can do directions when we're in a weird place", not really tracking, necessarily.
I uh.
Don't really leave the house. So, not much to track :D
Or trust "I know they'll only use this when its actually required"
Lots of ways to frame things, given my relationship history the more verifiable information I have the safer I feel. I will need a partner that strikes a healthy balance between asserting her own right to freedoms and empathy to the realities of my emotional state and past and how she can choose a minor sacrifice on her behalf for a major win for her partner. Afterall, isn't that what we all do in relationships?
If she's not cool with it, then cool, she's probably just not my person :) ..
idk these days seems like a lot of couples have "share location" turned on 24/7. Don't really know how healthy that is. Really good in a emergency though...
Healthy depends very much on the relationship, as a sibling post pointed out. I'm not a fan of the "if you have nothing to hide" argument in the general case, but in this case of my wife we have nothing private between us. In fact, its the things we share that make up the bulk of what I consider private from others. I figure that if Google, my cell provider, the government, and who knows how many other corporate entities have ready access to my location data, why not her? In practice she has more interesting and useful things to do with her time than watch me all day.
We have it on all the time, but for us it's because we moved out to BFE and don't know our way around very well. It's very possible for us to be lost and damned.
Healthy is as healthy does. Our relationship kicks ass, so "location on" isn't a trust issue to us, it's an "oh dear, hopefully my loved one wasn't kidnapped" issue.
I uh.
