    For me, knowing my spouse’s location is just convenient for knowing ETA without bothering her. It’s not really about trust at all

      Same. We both follow each other and neither of us care. We mostly have it enabled for the “just in case” scenario that anything happens to one of us. We can make sure that we know of our last known location.

      I’ve also had her use it one time I was away from home in NYC. And I was too drunk to figure out which subway to take to get back to my hotel. So she walked me through step by step while on the phone with me. It fucking rocked.

      Exactly my thought. It’s nothing to do with jealousy and just kind of convenient if you need to meet up or are seeing if they’re on their way home and can get dinner started or whatever.

      I figure if my phone manufacturer and cell providers are tracking me all day, why not also my closest friends and family.
