‘Modern Love’: To Share or Not To Share? How Location Sharing Is Changing Our Relationships

When the Modern Love podcast asked listeners how location sharing
is affecting their relationships, the responses they got were all
over the map. Some people love this technology. Some hate it. But
either way, it has changed something fundamental about how we
demonstrate our love and how we set boundaries around
relationships. In this episode, the Modern Love team shares a few
of their favorite listener responses. Then, host Anna Martin
talks with Arlon Jay Staggs, a Modern Love essayist who has
wrestled deeply with whether to share his location.

At first, location sharing wasn’t a big deal for Staggs and his
mother. He took a lot of long drives, and it made sense for her
to keep tabs on him. But when he realized his mother was watching
his little blue dot too closely, and it was causing her stress
when she needed peace of mind, Staggs decided the sharing had to
stop. He just couldn’t figure out how to tell her. And when
tragedy struck his family, the stakes of his decision to share or
not share became a lot higher.

Today’s episode was inspired by the essay “Every Move I Make,
She’ll Be Watching Me.”
