Wife Tracking Me

I have an issue I need some help with. Last weekend, I had some work to do at my office and I told my wife that I needed to go in for a few hours to finish some things up. On the way to the office I stopped by a friend's house who was having people over to say hi and have a drink. I am only there for about 20 minutes when the wife sends me a text asking me where I am. I ignore the first text but within minutes she sends another one, then calls me. I thought maybe she was outside my buddy's house, but I looked out and she wasn't there. So I step outside and call her and she asks me why I am at my friend's house without me even telling her. I ask her how she knows and she says that she looked it up on the computer due to the fact my phone has a GPS tracking device. So she goes off about this because she doesn't like my friend and saying I lied to her. I tell her I was just stopping by and then going to work, all true statements. She just blows up and blows the incident way out of proportion and was a complete bitch when I got back home that night.

My MAJOR issue with all of this is that my wife feels the need to track my phone and keep tabs on me. She claimed that the feature is part of AT&T's family plan and that we have always had it on our phones. I am not very technologically advanced and she pays the bills so I don't know. I am just curious if anyone knows if this is standard, or an extra? I just wonder why she feels it's necessary because I am not out having affairs or getting into trouble. I also wonder what my next step should be? I want to get this plan changed or have this feature taken off but then I look suspicious. I really have nothing to hide, it's just the principle of it.

Bart Simpson had this same problem... He took out a small tracking clip from his phone and tied it to a scarlet tanager(a bird)

The only problem is that your wife may end up in Machu Picchu...

Don take this the wrong way but your wife is a fucking bitch

Sounds like your wife wears the pants in the family. Why in earth would let her pay the bills? Does she make the money or does she support you?

Ditch the bitch.  Take the kids with you.  These days any man can raise a family by himself.

Smalltime- What part of KY are you in? if you're ever in Lexington, we need to grab a beer and trifecta box at Keeneland...

as far as your current situation, most of the time you can disable the GPS feature on the phones.  She may not have a reason other then she can, and she thinks its cute or funny and can show her girlfriends.  Track her too if it is that big a deal, she will get tired of that very quickly...other then a crappy deal, if you are where you say you are, then dont sweat it. 

Wow...once thought is put to it...this could not be more spot on...

 I agree with this. Now she is going to be really suspisious, and you did it to yourself. Why didnt you just tell your wife you were going to a friends house for a drink???

 Good angle!!!
