Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Why won't my husband agree to a tracking app? - Mamas Uncut
He doesnât want you catching him doing whatever heâs not supposed to be doing 
Weird, wondering whatâs up
I just came to say that that seems strange 
I wouldnât have a good feeling about it either. He didnât give any reasoning as to why?
I wouldnât get it and I donât leave my house 
it seems like an unnecessary invasion of privacy to me.
My partner wonât do it because they were recently busted for selling user data without permission
My husband has it I have it I love the app.
Yea ummmm he doing something he shouldnât or there would be no reason to say noâŚ
Maybe the idea of an app tracking his every move freaks him out who knows who else can see that but you? So many apps get hacked.
I wanted my boyfriend to get it so i know he is safe as he travels a lot during the winter for work. He doesnt want it as he says he is safe. Which i know he is safe but it still worries me in the winter.
Not weird in my opinion. We do not have it and I would never want it⌠I understand wanting to keep an eye on your son, but possibly a different way. No way would I ever sign up for that even if my husband had itâŚ
Iâm so sorry yes thatâs a red flag. We use 360 for peace of mind with the kids and my husband is a trucker so the kids love seeing where he is, when heâs coming home etc. That isnât an unreasonable request from you at all
My whole family uses it and we like it
Might as well shove a tracking device up his butt⌠Heâs not a child or teen. Ease up. He may just be uncomfortable with it. As I am.

What is he trying to hide?
What do YOU think the reason is? 
You can still track him without him knowing. I do it to mine 
does he have an Android ?
I would feel some type of way!
Uh. Because hes a grown ass adult and being tracked is creepy and controlling.
A simple text that hes okay is enough.
Whatâs with this generation and having to know your partners every move? Space is healthy and important. So is privacy.
Me my boyfriend all our friends and family is linked through life 360. Itâs the safest thing nowadays.
He is up to something that he doesnât want you to see. Hell my daughter has me and my boyfriend on hers then she set one up for her dad and his wife I would say in your to you itâs a 
for him not wanting it up with his son
My husband doesnât want it either but because he doesnât need it as long as 1 parent has it why should both women need to stop assuming everything is due to cheating
I donât find it weird at all, but to each his own! We use it for my kids and my husband and I just have our location permissions turned off. We both trust each other completely.
trust your gut girlfriend!
OMG I wouldnt get it so my kid could track my phone but I will track them
Some people donât want it due to âgovernment conspiracyâ ideas.
I wouldnât do it my location on Snapchat is enough !
My ex boyfriend who was a truck driver refused to get life360. I should have taken that as a huge red flag⌠but every situation is different and I donât know either of you so I canât assume
If my man said no fine Iâll just track his car ya can place a gps in that
Honestly speaking this day and age if you are a family unit this is definitely a red flag
things do happen not just to you or the child what if he goes missing
thatâs how my mind works
and again if we are a family unit this should not be a issue again to me in my opinion definitely a red flag and it will be a problem
Make him get it
We share location on iPhone and Iâm guessing itâs the same thing? Maybe try find my friends on iPhone
I would not want to be tracked either. You can track your son on 360 without the parents location needing to be on. I would feel some type of way if my significant other wanted to track me
I would say no too. And Iâm never anywhere bad, or doing anything wrong. But no I wouldnât wear a tracking device. He should be able to say no, we all deserve privacy in ways. It doesnât mean heâs cheating. He deserves respect for his choice.
My husband and I have it. We both travel a lot for the kids sports.
Iâm sorry but that is very concerning. Itâs a safety measure. we have it and when I got in a wreck last November it immediately alerted my husband and the authorities. I wasnât able to talk on the phone and tell him where I was so he was able to get my location from that app and immediately come to me because I also had our children with me. If your husband looks at it like youâre just trying to keep tabs on him then he has something to hide.
I wouldnât want to be tracked either. That doesnât mean thereâs something to be suspicious of!
I dont have a husband but i personally wouldnât get it for myself. Im not against it and i understand it for kids but i dont want anything tracking me period. I would never leave my location on for it either. I wouldnt assume anything crazy some people just dont like the idea of it or keeping a phone location on. I cringe just having to turn my location on sometimes for maps if i need it let alone having to leave it on all the time.
My daughter put this on my phone, but not her dads
Yep heâs definitely hiding something. Sorry but most likely cheating
Sounds like the app is the problem. I wouldnât force the issue, my husband would be the same way. As long as you have it and communicate with your son that would be good enough for me. Donât think into it, some people just donât want an app tracking them.
I feel like unless they work over the road there isnât a need for it, my ex husband was a trucker and we had it that way if i hadnât heard from him in awhile I could make sure he was still okay and moving down the road.If they travel yes itâs good but if not then I donât personally see the point. If you donât trust them enough to leave the house without you, than what are yall doing in your relationship. But thatâs just my opinion on it.
Because even people in relationships have the right to individual privacy. How did women like this ever survive before smartphones let them track their spouses like damn drug sniffing hounds? Get. A. Grip.
My fiance and I have life 360 so we know where each other is at expecially with me being a sahm he want to be able to see where me and the kids are at which Iâm totally okay with
RED FLAG sister, Red Flag!!
EhhhhhâŚ. He is hiding something.
Everyone whoâs automatically assuming heâs cheating should keep in mind that thereâs teenage girls that get tracked by their boyfriends using these apps and itâs usually considered a red flag for DV. We have Find My iPhone and share locations at our home. We donât need any tracking apps. I wouldnât want to be tracked through an app either.
It shouldnât be a big deal especially for your family he should have just completely agreed to it because there is no reason to not want it unless we donât want to be found
Women. 
You ever think maybe he just doesnât want it?
Maybe it makes him feel less manly to have his wife tracking his every movement. Men need to feel masculine. Not wanting a tracking app on his phone doesnât automatically mean cheating.
I guarantee you he has heard guys taking at work about the types of men who have those apps and he doesnât want to be made fun of and be âthat guyâ.
My husband talks to me about these types of things men talk about at work.
If you never had a reason not to trust him in 14 years, donât let not wanting an app on his phone worry you and ruin your marriage.
I donât understand why. My husband and kids would totally be down for it . Only cause then they no where to find me to ask a 100 question s 
If you all have an iphone, he can share location with you and kiddo through the contacts without the app, see if thats an option?
We all have it at my house
We donât have that and mine refuses but we have iPhones and we constantly share our location
Life 360 has helped my family members. A lot of us have been in car accidents and it helped people get to loved ones quickly.
I was in a car accident in the spring with my kids, my parents came and got us quickly. Also if you pay for the premium itâs worth it. There are times where âsomeâ forget to get gas and they send assistance without any charge.
Hell itâs better to be safe than sorry.
Iâm shocked that your kid is the one wanting to be tracked. I wouldnât want to be tracked and that doesnât make me a cheater. Maybe he goes golfing or to the bar and doesnât want you to know.
My husband and I both have each otherâs location threw Google maps I like to doordash on the side to have some extra spending money so I felt like it was safe for him to be able to see where I am if I donât answer the phone. I mean maybe just really sit down and talk to him about it bugging you now since heâs so against you seeing his location?
My husband and I have it. We donât see the big deal over it. Itâs came in handy when I had to go to a job site to take him something.
My husband and I been together 13 years, myself and our 2 older kids all have life 360 so I can keep track of them, I asked my husband if he wanted it on his phone, he said no and Idc if he does or not. I donât feel the need to be able to track my husband and I ainât worried about what heâs doin. he always calls/text me randomly when heâs not at home. If your really that concerned about it then you need to talk with him because you shouldnât feel like something is up just because he doesnât wanna be tracked 
. Honestly I donât know a single male that does⌠itâs always the woman and kids with the appâ:woman_shrugging:
My whole family has it. We even pay for platinum membership. Iâm not sure why he wouldnât want it. Or anyone for that matterđ¤ˇđźââď¸
Nope. Me, my boyfriend, mom dad and sister are all in the same circle lol
I wouldnât want it either 
and I know my husband wouldnât. Not much in the world thatâs private anymore. Trust and respect. Heâs given you no reason to not trust him, donât let wanting to keep some sort of privacy in his life, his. You donât need to know what and where your spouse is 24/7 heâs an adult
My wife and I use Life360. I have nothing to hide. So it doesnât bother me one but. We inform each other what we are doing, that way the other doesnât need to worry.
The whole electronics tracking thing is so ridiculousâŚreally I dont go for it I do have my location on on mine for specific appsâŚbut again I grew up without electronics cell phones etcâŚI get your son wanting to be able to contact someone or finding them in an emergency but as for just becauseâŚkinda creepy. .I have a couple kids that are roamers but they do let us know areas they are headed too! Dont jump to conclusions of why notâŚmaybe he is like alot of us he doesnt want to be connected to electronics at all times a little freedom doesnt hurt
I donât think it means anything except that he doesnât feel comfortable being tracked. Like a loss of liberty.
My fiancĂŠ is sort of like this. He doesnât want these apps having âhis infoâ even though theyâre in the terms and agreements ironically, he leaves his location on.
If you asked it be one thing ,but him refusing his son the request to feel safe is alarming .
You think itâs because he may not want other people seeing where he is like my kids parents do not do the government and live off the land other than their jobs thatâs the only thing people know about them
I donât cheat and I wouldnât let my husband put it on if he asked. And as to why because Iâm not sex I get to go where I want when I want how I want. Although my husband Would never ask to put some crap like this on my phone. Nobody needs to know how often Iâm shopping at Hobby Lobby.
My husband actually had the idea himself when he was working out of town in a bad area, just in case something happens.
For ones that say they donât wanna be tracked is literally not for that itâs to make sure your partner kids family members are safe if you get in a wreck it will send alerts to the people in your circle and will also notify the police you can turn your location off at anytime in the app me and my family have it and it gives us all peace of mind
Iâm with your husband on this i have it as a family I honestly canât even walk to shop without having messages being sent asking what Iâm doing etc for my kids! They know the minute I leave work to the minute I open my front door! Does my head in!
I have the app for my son ans just turn off my location but my sons is on at all times even my mom uses it and her location is off.
I would NEVER EVER use a tracking app. I would NEVER ask my husband to use one OR my kids. That is literally just a way to show there is no trust and it takes away all privacy. Iâm sorry but for me and my family and the people we associate with there is ZERO reason to need a tracking app! That is just ludicrous to me and ridiculous.
If heâs big into conspiracies, I wouldnât be so worried but if he isnât⌠
I would never agree to this either. It feels like stalking. But I also knew to go home when the light on the pool went out.
We have it in our household. Our teens are not allowed to delete it or turn off location. It does blow your phone up quite often with settings, especially when you have young drivers, but you can change the notification settings. My dad would be one not to put it on his phone, he would feel like itâs an invasion of privacy and anyone could hack and look at his location and info (or some other conspiracy thing, lol). So maybe your husband thinks this? Life 360 has been hacked before. I would see if he would talk to you more about it. Donât jump to conclusions, communicate.
Everyone who says they wonât use a tracking app sorry to break it to you but even if your location is off you are still able to be tracked wherever you use your phone cause your phones ping off every cell tower and it gives an approximate location of where u are. So not sure what the big deal is.
Anyone that tracks their partners location or feels the need to shouldnât be in that relationship and the partner needs to run
I would never track anyone in my family. Itâs just not safe considering it can be hacked. They can share their location with you. I also saw this from another mom, she and her kids send Proof of life pictures. So if anyone is uneasy or nervous no matter what if they receive the proof of life text, they take a picture of themselves right then and there and send it, to prove all is good. This mom does it still with her adult children and they do it with her. Itâs just a way for them to feel better knowing everyone is safe. Maybe you can suggest this instead?
Nope. We actually have the agreement that any job site he goes to he sends me the location at all times. And I can request to see where he is at all times. But we had an issue a couple years back so that is why. And as we have been working on healing and trusting I ask for it less and less. I would be suspicious though.
There wouldnât be an option given if it was my spouse.
Maybe he just doesnât like the idea of being tracked 
I wouldnât want anyone tracking my movement. So I canât blame him. Heâs an adult.
Im with your husband. Itâs too much- you can reach each other by phone you donât need to know every move. Sure track your kid, but your spouse!?!? Not a chance
Mmm me and my family have find my friends, we donât see what the big deal is, specially because we travel all over the place so itâs just to give my parents and me a peace of mind, keeps us safe on the road specially when traveling out of the country. Itâs family âŚ. I even have a friend on it and she has me just in case anything happens or we get separated when we go out âŚâŚ itâs a way to keep safety measuresâŚâŚ we actually have this friend who tends to wander off once she is drunk âŚâŚ thanks to that app we have been able to retrieve her from guys trying to take her home (when she is completely drunk) âŚâŚ
My husband and I have it, along with two of our kids that are old enough to have a phone.
Husband is the same but he doesnt like cameras, tracking devices it is a big intrusion on privacy especially if you dont know who else is tracking them.
My husband doesnât even have social media accounts he and I know each others password on phones and if I really wanted he would show me his google map it literally shows every place he went I wouldnât ask him to add a tracking app thatâs kinda odd yea for kids itâs fine but not my husband
I wouldnât want to be tracked either and I am married. I also wouldnât want to be in a marriage that I have to track my spouse. We use Snapchat to track our son sometimes when he wonât answer his phone. Otherwise, I donât need anyone checking where I am so I get his point. Although I am a homebody so nothing to see here. Lol. Besides mine would be boring bc there she is sitting on the couch. She hasnât moved so she must be napping . There she goes to the bathroom again. .
No. But funny story. We have it. I was out and my phone turned off. My husband couldnât reach me. He looked on the app and saw that I was in a bad area. He went there and I wasnât there. He went to the last place I was before thereâwhich was a park. My car was there. I was not. He was about to call the police because he was convinced I was kidnapped by a drug dealer.
I just went for a walk and my phone died. Lol.
My whole family has it⌠I put it on my husbandâs phone myself⌠didnât ask⌠brought him lunch one day to his jobsite⌠couldnât figure out how I knew where he was! LOL
We use it almost daily.
I wouldnât get it either. Heâs a grown adult. I wouldnât want to be tracked either.đ¤ˇ
Heâs a grown adult, not a child. Whatâs wrong with you all and wanting to track your spouse. Thatâs just messed up
Everyone is entitled to their own personal boundaries. If thereâs no infidelity or trust issues, let him be!
My baby daddy didnât want life 360 because he didnât want to be tracked, until the day his car died out in the country lol he called me and needed me to go pick him up or he would have frozen to death⌠literally no one else wanted to go get him cuz they didnât know where he was. I told him âsee life360 saves livesâ. Now he has it on his phone.
He probably feels like you donât trust him. And from the sounds of it you donât. If you trust him why does he need an app with his location if itâs truly just for your child?
We have life 360 because my husband works 45 min away from home so i can see when he leaves work and get dinner ready on time. Also it will alert me if he were to crash or something and vise versa. When our son is of age, his phone will have the app too
If you have a smartphone you are already being tracked. So his issue isnât with that itâs with his wife knowing where he is. Idk kinda weird . My mom and sisters and I all have it & it helped when I got in a car wreck and flipped. You never know. If youâre being honest and not doing shit you arenât supposed to idk why it would be an issue.
Mine wonât because âgovernmentâ. My boys donât even like taking their phones with them when they walk to the store because I have a app that can track them lol. I never look at it I only use it for parental controls.
I wouldnât want to be tracked either itâs not about doing anythingâŚitâs the simple idea of being tracked. Me and my partner have our locations on on our iPhones incase of emergency but we donât check on it. Itâs doing too much.
My cheating ex would have refused as wellâŚbut doesnât apply to everyone I guess
