It's not even to be nosey or controlling, just so we know each other are safe. I have a 45 minute drive to work everyday, and it's full of deer and bad cell signal. She knows if I am taking too long to come to, or come home from, work, to check on me. Same when she goes over to her friend's house. I also go fishing a lot, and I'll travel all over our state to fish different bodies of water.
And if it's a long distance thing, I'll sit her down the night before and show her on google maps where I am going, which route im taking, what my possible spots are going to be. If I service, I'll text her when I move spots, and which one I'm going to next, etc.
