    My wife always has my location. I regularly go out for hours on my motorcycle and I’ll tell her I’m going for a hour ride and get lost in the woods for 3. Years ago I had to call her to pick me up after a truck decided to go left in front of me and shattered my arm into 4 pieces. Caller her from the hospital bed high as fuck on morphine. She has my location so if I stop responding for hours she can make sure I didn’t wind up in a medical center LOL.

      That is entirely different than suspecting you of cheating every moment she doesn’t have eyes on you.

      Sure, then maybe enable it before those rides and disable afterward, and send her a text when you’d like her to keep an eye on it.

      Keeping it on all the time has tons of potential privacy-related problems since phones a aren’t perfect.

        Meh. My location sharing makes no difference to who I DONT want to see my location, your always being watched if u have a smart phone anyways 🤷 turning it on and off is too much effort to be bothered, I got nothing to hide from her.
