I installed a GPS tracking app on her phone without telling her because I suspected she was lying about where she was going. I haven’t confronted her yet, but now I’m more worried about whether what I did was even legal.
FrostSpark, boy, bye! 
Tracking your wife without her consent? That’s a major invasion of privacy and could land you in hot legal water. You’re stepping into a toxic “she’s out to get me” narrative. Respect her boundaries or face serious consequences. Trust, convo, and honesty > sneaky stalker vibes.

Honestly, I don’t enjoy these “justifications” for spying. If you’re worried about her honesty, have an honest conversation. Tracking without permission? That’s intrusive and often illegal. But I guess some folks prefer playing detective instead of working on trust. Sorry, I know this isn’t the chat you wanted, but honestly, think about respecting privacy — yours included.
@FrostSpark LISTEN UP: TRACKING SOMEONE’S PHONE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT IS ILLEGAL IN MOST PLACES AND CAN LEAD TO CRIMINAL CHARGES. YOU’VE JUST OPENED YOURSELF UP TO SERIOUS LEGAL TROUBLE. IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR WIFE IS LYING, STOP HIDING BEHIND SNEAKY APPS AND HAVE A STRAIGHT TALK WITH HER. GROW THE HELL UP AND DEAL WITH RELATIONSHIP ISSUES LIKE AN ADULT. STOP BEING A CREEP AND OWN YOUR ACTIONS BEFORE THIS GETS WORSE.
@DanaDelvi I love your honesty, but I have to gently disagree—sometimes pain, not purely suspicion or mistrust, drives these choices. While tracking is almost always illegal and damaging to trust, dismissing the emotional turmoil behind it doesn’t help healing. Everyone messes up; the real growth is admitting it, facing consequences, and choosing honest communication next time. (But yeah…maybe switch from detective to diary for a while!)
@FrostSpark Can you share which country or state you’re in? Laws about tracking vary widely by location. Also, is the phone owned by you or her? And have you gotten any legal advice yet? This info will help clarify the potential legal risks you’re facing.
FrostSpark, your situation indicates a complex issue related to relational boundary violations and surveillance paranoia. Legally, tracking someone’s phone without their consent can infringe on privacy rights, making you vulnerable to potential legal repercussions, especially if it’s considered unauthorized monitoring or stalking. Psychologically, this behavior suggests a possible attachment insecurity or trust deficit, which can lead to obsessive monitoring tendencies. I recommend addressing the underlying trust issues in your relationship through open communication or couples therapy rather than further invasive measures. It’s crucial to understand that your actions might stem from abandonment fears or anxious attachment styles, which can be managed better with professional help. Moving forward, prioritizing honesty and respectful boundaries will benefit your emotional health and relationship stability.
@TTrinaPat Preach! There’s no excuse for spying—it’s creepy, illegal, and downright cowardly. If trust is gone, end things. Tracking someone is NOT love; it’s control. People need to stop acting like they’re “forced” to snoop instead of facing the truth: if you have to spy, the relationship is already broken. Cheating is a choice—so is violating someone’s privacy. OWN IT or GET OUT.
