Its been years of sub par men and toxic relationships that this last one has finally taken the cake and I'm done! I was dating this guy from the valley who would supposedly not have cell reception most of the time....right up until the day I saw him out with another woman at coles. Turns out he was blocking my phone number anytime he would leave the house. I tried for months to be able to track each others phone, because lets be honest I have nothing to hide, but he refused and now I know why. I know in this case I couldn't do much about him actually not having cell reception but what is everyone's opinion on tracking each other?? Surely I'm not out of line for asking and if he truly was honest he would agree? Honestly going back to leveled up queens at this stage

If you feel the need to track a man's phone, he ain't the one sis.
No one is allowed to track me ever, because some men are even this without you're knowing. This is why you never let a man buy you a cellphone for example. Also if I feel the need to track my man constantly 1 that's desperate as fuck, like why aren't you doing your thing and why are you so obsessed? Lol and 2 If you even feel the need to track your man, you need to wonder why this is. Why don't you trust him? Are there certain red flags? Etc. Etc. HVM don't need to be tracked LVM/NVM neither they need to blocked and deleted.
I have no doubt this guy is trash, but tracking? I would run the opposite way if someone I was dating suggested it.
The only reason this would ever be okay is for specific medical or other quantifiable safety reasons and even then, the moment the hazard is gone, the tracking ceases.
(One other exception would be if you have reason to believe your partner is doing something criminal or indicative of fraud -- then all bets are off. But you would certainly never announce that -- surveillance is surreptitious.)
If you want to ask him if you can track his location just to see if he agrees I don’t see anything wrong with holding men to that standard, but if you don’t trust him so much that you need to know where he is 24/7, either he’s not the one or you have trust issues from a past relationship that you need to deal with before you get back to dating.
I would not consent to being tracked, nor would I waste energy tracking someone else. If a partner asked for permission to track me I’d think something was seriously wrong with them. Sorry. Huge turnoff.
I don't think its a bad thing of y'all both agree with it. If we're doing solo trips, I would ask for location. But other than that, I don't think its necessary to track 24/7
Did you want to track him bc of being worried that he was in areas that didn't have "service" and might not be able to get help if he was in danger?
It's a nice thought for safety but ehhh kind of a slippery slope. My wife and I had Life 360 but honestly I don't want to be in another relationship where I feel like I need that (we had it because she was a suicide risk, so I installed it at first without her consent which in hindsight sounds messed up and I won't put myself or another person in that position again).
