Yep, that all makes sense to me. It really is about trust. We don’t use it to stalk each other. Well, there’s a non-zero chance the kids have used it to see how long it would be until we were home. If I were them, I’d sure I would’ve.

On a small handful of occasions, someone’s been someplace completely unexpected, and we’ve asked them about it. “Hey, you’re in a nearby city. You ok?” “Oh, sorry! I forgot to tell you I’m going to the water park with Joe and Jane.” “Ok. Sounds fun! Have a good time!”

My wife being able to know where I am hasn’t changed my behavior one whit. I assume the reverse is true.
