His Story: Whenever I ask my wife to share her location with me or I call her to know where she is, she gets furious with me. My intention is not to spy on her but it is more out of concern. I know she is independent but I am worried about her safety and I don't understand what is the harm in just keeping me informed? I do not ever stop her from going anywhere she wants but she gets extremely upset when I ask her about her whereabouts.My father also asks my mother but my mother never has any issues.
Her Story:My husband has this annoying habit of asking me for my location not just when I am out with friends or on “me time” but even when I am with my mother. My ma and me are both independent women and I do not understand why he needs to know everything. I feel suffocated when he does that. Yes it must be out of concern but there is something called space. I am not new to the city, I have lived here every single day of my existence! If his mother likes to be monitored constantly, it's her choice.I am not like that. I do not ask him where he is when he is out so why ask me?
Expert advice by Mrs Hina Beg, Solution Therapist:This is a common concern when a partner asks for the location of each other consistently. It can imply lack of trust, respect, doubts, worry etc. Each relationship is different and thus, has different mutual adaptations. If this is repetitive, then one must sit down and have a conversation. Communicate why you need to know in practical ways.
It is important to keep in mind that one should be aware of their tone and voice during this communication.This is easy to slip into accusations, which is not needed. You both are wonderful people and the fact you want to address this, reflects how beautiful this relationship will build into. Every couple has unique adjustments and understanding. Try to focus and build on yours. Trust and respect each other as these are the two most important ingredients which strengthen the bond. Always keep the channel of communication open.
