Ruin my life why don’t you
Google Maps pinged me at a location where I was not actually present. I was at Target, but Google Maps showed my location at a house on a nearby street. Coincidentally, the person who lives at that address is someone I don’t know, but they happen to follow a run club that I used to go to.
My boyfriend is now convinced that I was with this person during that time, but I genuinely have no idea who this person is, and I have never met them in my life. He doesn’t believe me, and it’s starting to create a serious wedge between us.
We live together, but I own the house. What makes the situation even worse is that I gave him access to my Ring camera about a week after this happened because I wanted him to feel more comfortable and reassured. My Ring camera is set up to automatically delete footage after three days, that’s just how it was set up, so the footage from the day in question was already gone. Now he thinks I intentionally deleted the footage to hide something. I did not. That’s just how it was set up.
I honestly don’t know what else I can do or say to make him believe me. I know 100% that I was not at this person’s house. I was at Target, and Google Maps simply showed an incorrect location. It’s incredibly frustrating and hurtful to be accused of something I didn’t do, especially when I have no connection whatsoever to this person. I want him to trust me, but I don’t know how to prove something that simply didn’t happen.
And it’s not lost on me how bad this looks. I can completely understand why, from his perspective, it looks really bad. It’s just not the case. I don’t know what to do.
