OT: Wife just brought up Find my Friends app

MovingZen said:
I've had Life360 on my phone for a couple years now. We mostly use it to track our now 14 year old son. We got it because we started doing a lot of travel trailer camping and we wanted to allow the boy as much freedom as possible but still be able to know where he was when we wanted to check on him. You can set up places and geo fence them. If he left the campgrounds we'd know immediately. We also get alerts when he leaves the house or gets home from school. Sure I can track her and she can track me. If you're up to no good it might be a problem, otherwise the novelty wears off fairly quickly. I've turned off a bunch of the features already. I don't need to know stuff like how fast she was driving to work today. If it's just you and her, well read the comments above again. But if you have young kids it can take a huge load off your mind.

The issue is for me is that sometimes I do things I shouldn't. Is that wrong?

Sounds like she is on to your shenanigans an is giving you a way out. I would suggest not doing using the app and also handling your business in a more discreet manor, because it sounds like she's close to busting you.

Put on your phone and turn off cell data for the app.

"Wouldn't it be cool if we put this app on our phones so you can know where I'm at?"

Hum. No easy way out of this. Say yes. Buy burner phone. Leave your with the app at office set to forward all your calls to the burner. Then pray to whatever god you believe in and hire good attorney cause she is on to you my friend.

This is worst case scenario, bro. If you've truly been doing nothing wrong and she's acting all suspicious like this, either she's been stepping out, or she's losing her mind and getting crazy paranoid. Start protecting yourself now. Give all your money and assets to your brother, father, mother. Talk about getting some counseling if you love her and want to save the relationship. Unfortunately, she's at risk of turning on you, whether you like it or not and whether you've done anything wrong or not.

Be careful, and I hope it all works out for the best.

I just hate to hear people speak negative energy into the this man’s life like that. “What if” she legit just wants everyone to be accounted for and safe? Every time something seems a little bit suspect, it doesn’t always have to turn out into the worst case scenario. And please don’t take that as if I were saying you are dumb personally, I just think that entire idea of worst-case scenario is dumb. Not just in this scenario, but in every scenario. I trust everyone I’m close to, until they give me a reason not to. That’s just the way I operate. Again, no disrespect on my part.

I'd have to disagree, but I guess it depends on what kind of relationship he has. I'd be really surprised if my wife asked something like that, because she knows it wouldn't be ok. But if she did, I'd have no problem just saying "no, I don't feel comfortable with the idea of being tracked at any time." Either you accept someone or you don't. Everyone, married or not, should still have some degree of independence and self determination. If you suspect cheating, then deal with it another way, but don't play silly games and act like a jailer, or treat your husband (or wife) like a child that needs to be kept tabs on.

All good, man. I get where you're coming from. Based on what OP described, I would be very concerned, but I totally respect and get where you're coming from, and generally handle my personal life the same way. Thanks for the response.
 
May I suggest to honor your wife and to love her like Christ loves the church. The Scripture says that the marriage of a husband and wife resembles that of Christ and his church. Hence, "husbands, love your wives like Christ loves the Church".

Praying for you, my dude.

Everybody has to know their own situation. In my case, I know I out kicked my punt coverage. My wife lets me do **** near anything I want. I sometimes feel bad for dudes I know because their wives run them... they travel scared all the time. You ask them to do **** and they shut it down because 'The wife.. this or that.. blah blah blah.' And I'm always saying 'did you even ask her?' I'll get the 'I can't go fishing saturday because I have to go shopping with my wife' bull****. Or, they can't go to the bar and play pool because their wife wont let them. That's some serious bull**** right there. If your girl/wife doesn't allow you do do **** you gotta nip that in the bud or move on. It's only gonna get worse. If I wanted to go to the tiddy bar, I'd tell her. If I want to go fishing, I tell her. If she wants to go out with her friends, no ***** are given by me. We've been married over 25 years and I lean towards being an asshat. I'm sure she'd rather I'm out of the house more often than not. That's how it lasts, she doesn't cramp me and lets me keep my man card at all times. If she wants to have a girls weekend, I tell her have at it. I take a mild look at who she's going with and start planning even more fishing time for me. Half the time I couldn't even tell you where she's going and when. Nowadays, I tell her where I'm going fishing but I'm glad she can track me gps wise because I don't always stick exactly to my float plan. If some **** goes down she'll know where to send the cops to find my body. I couldn't tell you the last time I checked her location except to know how long it'll be before she gets home. It was my idea to track my son. I'm the reason we have gps tracking on our phones. If your girl is already telling you no you can't hang with your friend or go fishing or whatever, I'd say **** no don't put gps on your phone. I'd also say you might consider moving on because if she's that type and you give ground, you'll never get it back and she's only going to continue to squeeze.

tl;dr If you're young and your girl wants to gps track you kick her to the curb and find yourself another girl with more confidence in herself. Otherwise you're in for a long bumpy road.
