My wife and I have our location shared with each other 24/7. Furthermore, my sister also has mine and my wife has her sister's. It has nothing to do with trust and everything to do with safety. Perhaps the real trust is not assuming your partner will use your location to control you.
For me, privacy is safety. The thing im most worried about is the government snatching me up in the night.
Yay, threat profiles!
Well, seems that having a trusted party with your location would help with that, fellow inhabitant of a fascist regime.
Please !ever get within fifty feet of anyone doijg anything you think is remotely spicy, for your safety and theirs.
Now I'm just confused.
You're a danger to yourself and those around you. And it doesn't seem malevolent, which is scarier.
Being tracked is control enough for me. But I do understand it in dangerous situations, returning through forest at night etc.
I don't see it as being tracked, though. I trust my wife (and my sister) to not be checking it 24/7.
No, that is creepy and you have just normalized it.
