    my partner and i have done this for years. Not to this unhealthy degree of course but we share location. I started doing it because they would ask for eta as i was driving home from work. It was a bit of an unpredictable commute due to long running major construction and i didnt want to text and drive so i turned my location sharing on.

    On the flip side I mainly use it to find them in crowds when they wander off to go look at stuff a vendor is selling or whatever. its not super accurate but gets me close enough.

      Same here. Our lives are so intertwined that keeping track of each other is just a basic courtesy, not some malicious form of control. I understand why some people may not want their life to be intertwined with another person’s that way. It’s just a matter of preference and what is negotiated with your partner(s). I’ve also gone through some rough patches where separation was very much on the table and this practice still didn’t cause any problems.
