Sharing locations in a relationship is toxic
You’ll never convince me otherwise. You absolutely don’t need to know where your partner is 24/7. Even if you‘re sharing locations just for transparency and not because of distrust, how do you know that your partner doesn’t use it to always track where you are? How do you know he or she doesn’t use it to constantly check your location? You can’t read their mind.
The most popular counter argument here will be that it’s for “safety reasons”. Well, if that’s the case, why can’t you just share your location with your parents or your best friend? Why does it always have to be your partner? A romantic partner is way more likely to escalate it into a controlling, obsessive situation than a good platonic friend is.
Also, being able to share locations through Snapchat and other platforms has only existed for ten, maybe fifteen years. How do you think the couples before us survived? I promise you that your parents who got married in the eighties and are still happily together have never had each other’s locations.
