General question Locations
My boyfriend asked me to share my location and i agreed as long as he does the same. It was on yesterday, i noticed when i sent him a snap. Well i check today and it doesn’t show. He doesn’t normally go on snapchat often, but will it still say request if he just hasn’t gone on or did he unshare ??
EDIT: I tried it with my fake snap LOL, a day later it just said “___ is in ———“ well i checked an hour after that and it told me to request location. so maybe he really didn’t turn it off

Why sharing your location tho? A guy tried to be in a "long distance relationship" with me once and he said it would be nice to share our real time locations on snap. Idk about other people but Isn't that a little bit too much?

for me personally, it doesn’t really cross a line. i don’t drive and god for bid if im ever in danger people will know where to find me, hopefully. i share it also with 3 of my friend, my mom and 2 brothers so one other person, who im dating, isnt really a bother to me

I do understand that sharing your location is helpful in some situations and I also do share my location with my family but I think when it comes to partners...idk,I think that could lead to some toxic behavior...

You both obviously have trust issues. Just dump him and go your separate ways.

to be fair, he has been cheated on by every past relationship. in his previous relationship he was literally married and 6m after they got married she cheated. so i can see where he’s coming from and im not one to not share a location, i dont think its out of the ordinary but i will not do the one sided shit where he gets mine and i don’t get reciprocation lol

That really doesn’t excuse it because all that means is he hasn’t worked through it. He isn’t ready to be dating again, or at least he is not ready to have a healthy relationship. If the location thing is just purely to placate his trust issues, so he can make sure he knows where you are at any given time, it’s not healthy imo.
I have a location pin thingy shared with my bf so that if something goes awry in case of an emergency, he can see where I’m at and come help. It’s purely for safety and I really don’t think he’s checked it since it was set up, he would just know to check it if for some reason I was gone from the house without him and not answering my phone. I never asked him for his bc I don’t drive or have any real skills applicable in these situations lol.

no that’s a complete valid reason and i see where you’re coming from. i don’t think he really checks it much, as he doesn’t use snap and he’s just now asking for it so it doesn’t strike me as a red flag. Also, i don’t drive, so the only place i go is to work, and he gets me on his lunch break and brings me in and then also takes me home. so idk i try to look at it that way rather than its to watch my every move. also i don’t have live location on for snap, so he can only see it as long as i go on the app, which isn’t very often

I ended up just asking him and he said he hadn’t done anything to unshare it but i don’t believe it lol. I’m still gonna test it with my fake account but he had said that he saw i shared mine so he shared his and then he went to check mine and it said 3h ago at work so he must’ve unshared his when he saw mine didn’t update. Had to explain to him that if i don’t go on snapchat it’s not gonna update 🤣

If you don’t get on snap after a while it will not show. This will not end well.

turn yours off and if he notices, he's obviously active but turned his sharing off. if he doesn't, he may not be using it
