If the relationship already has trust issues, location sharing will not fix them. It might just give the anxious person more things to check.
That is a good point. The tool itself is probably not the problem, it is what people use it for.
Is sharing your location in a relationship healthy or too much
#dating#location sharing#relationships#trust
A lot of couples I know share live location all the time. Some say it is safety and convenience, others say it feels controlling. I can see both sides honestly. Where is the line?
AI Summary
Replies say location sharing depends on consent, trust and whether it is used for safety or control.
Answers & Discussion
I would hate it personally. Not because I am hiding anything, I just dont like the feeling of being trackable all day. People had relationships for thousands of years without live maps.
My partner and I share location mostly because I walk home late sometimes. I dont think either of us checks it much. The fact that we dont obsess over it is probably why it feels okay.
I think the key is whether both people genuinely want it. If it is mutual and casual, like checking if someone is almost home, fine. If one person gets anxious or angry when the other turns it off, that becomes control very fast.
