Couple should be smarter than their smartphone

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

You should also consider turning off the location tracker on your phone, which can additionally reveal your whereabouts (without you being aware of it). This is more of a threat to your security than a protection.

You and your husband are both new to this, but what you need to adjust to is the very real relinquishment of your personal freedom (and data). Please don't let your "smartphone" be smarter than you are.

If your husband doesn't like your choices regarding your right to run errands without revealing your every move, then too bad. You trust him to conduct his day according to his own judgment, and he needs to trust you, too.

Your shared naivete concerning this technology is understandable; his accusation is troubling.

Dear Amy: I am a 42-year-old single woman. I have been divorced for five years, but have yet to find my Mr. Right.

A co-worker set me up with a man about eight months ago. We are both at a very good place in life and are very picky, so finding "the one" has not been easy for either of us.

 

He has been divorced for four years and has not had any serious relationships since his divorce.

Over the past eight months, he has made his intentions clear, through his actions (not words), that he does not want a relationship with me, but that he enjoys my companionship and sex.

Amy, should I stick around and see if he will eventually "fall into" a relationship with me, or should I walk away? We have so much fun when we are together, but getting together has not been regular and it is always on his terms.
