      Do you need to know where your partner is 24/7?! That feels suffocating. These people even have location sharing turned on and she knew he was at Buffalo Wild Wings before she even asked

        It would be polite to text, that’s all. When you live with someone and they’re expecting you home with the item you went out to get, you should text if that’s not the case. No big deal but it’s a little rude not to.

              How do you know? Aren’t adults allowed to be overexcited? Are we supposed to lose excitement when becoming adults?

                  The detriment of not updating someone else on your every move? Someone, who as you could see here, can very easily ask what’s up if they want and get an answer probably a few seconds later?

        Checking my location is a less distracting way for my husband to know if I’m safely on my way home than texting or calling me while I’m driving. She might have thought his phone had been stolen because he hadn’t planned on getting wings.

        I don’t think they were implying that at all. Instead imagine the situation where you send your spouse into a burning building and then they go out the back door and don’t call you. If the wife was afraid the seller was a murderer, this isn’t a case of needing to know where their partner is 24/7. It’s knowing where their partner is after what they view is a very unsafe situation.

          Frankly, I can easily imagine them going “hey let’s got for a beer and see which one of our two paranoiacs freaks out first”.

          One could argue that thinking the woman selling a lamp on Facebook marketplace is a murderer is an unusually paranoid thought

          Maybe a lamp isn’t worth sending your husband to ‘certain death’ then. If you’re really that concerned about buying off FB marketplace just go to HomeGoods™ ffs, they’ve got lamps too.

          Guess that is more of an indication of her priorities, “a possible chance at a discount on this mass produced lamp is worth the chance that my husband literally dies.”

            I was using an extreme example. She was afraid of being murdered, doesn’t mean that she is afraid of the same for her husband. All it means is that it’s a different situation. It has nothing to do with tracking your husband’s whereabouts 24/7

        Sure, but it’d be nice to let your wife know that you’re okay when you’re in a potentially dangerous situation lol

        Although the location sharing did help lol

          Even if you think this is inconsiderate, I’m going to break it to you, that that wouldn’t make it weird…

            I literally don’t know what you’re attempting to communicate. Feel free to not bother clarifying.

              I won’t, because this feels like a job your parents or perhaps infant schooling failed at - the experience of time passing is relative, and nobody is foremost in anyone else’s considerations all the time - and presumably at this point it would be useless.
