In this digital age, it has become incredibly easy to share your location with friends and family for safety reasons or via social media apps. However, some people think that tracking a loved one's location can be intrusive and lead to controlling behaviour within a relationship.
A woman took to Mumsnet after being shocked that her friend thought she was displaying controlling and abusive behaviour by tracking her husband, even though they have both consented to share their location with each other. On the popular forum, she asked if she and her husband were being unreasonable after one of her friends reacted like she had done something "awful" by checking where he was.
She said: "This should really be AWBU [are we being unreasonable] because it's the same for both of us. We've had location sharing on between us 24/7 for a couple of years now. I can always see where DH [dear husband] is and vice versa. It's hugely helpful and we turned it on for very practical reasons. No more messaging each other 'where are you?', having to explain that we're stuck in traffic, worrying about each other if we're running late etc.
