> but a big red flag

How can you infer that? She clearly had access to his location history, it's extremely unlikely that it happened without his consent. This is rather a vibe of two enthusiastic geeks being genuinely curious about analyzing some cool data about themselves, rather than anyone being "overly attached". We can't tell for sure without more details about their relationship, which isn't our business at all, so talking about "big red flags" feels really wrong and paternalistic (which in fact sounds like a big red flag :P).

> Also, how come 2 people be so ok with Google having all their location history?

That's a valid question though.




How can I infer that? Easily… if she is openly able to do this. What are those things that she is quietly doing? If she already has access to his location, chances are that one night at 7 PM when he hasn’t come back, she is checking for patterns.

Funny how everyone is so oblivious and saying ‘ohhh I find it so cute’


What you're saying is pretty disturbing. Sometimes relationships are built on trust.


I agree, sometimes. But doing a full data-science analysis of where me and my partner where for the past 7-8 years to see how close we where, even though we are already together, doesn’t sound promising either.

Nevertheless, I think in general, people should learn that some will agree and others will disagree. There is no wrong or right. If some of you find this ‘cute’ and ‘amazing’ that is perfect. You should also understand and respect that some others find this ‘creepy’, ‘disturbing’ and a big ‘red flag’ for insecurity and annoying attachment.

"My partner kindly agreed to download his data and sent it to me."
