Am I wrong for not wanting to share my location with my partner?
Your partner wants your location on 24/7 and you said no. Is that a red flag or just a boundary? Here's the honest ruling on both sides.
The partner who won't share
Sharing a live location all day isn't a normal condition of being in a relationship, and turning it off doesn't mean there's something to hide. Wanting a little space to run errands or have a bad day without a running commentary is a reasonable thing to ask for.
The partner who wants it on
Plenty of couples share location purely as a convenience and a safety thing, and a flat refusal can feel like a door being closed for no reason. When one person offers it freely and the other won't even discuss it, that asymmetry stings.
The verdict
Who's at fault
The partner who wants it on is more in the wrong here. Nobody owes anybody a live dot on a map. A relationship runs on trust, not surveillance, and if the only thing that settles the anxiety is constant tracking, the tracking isn't fixing anything. But a hard no with zero explanation does land badly, and the person refusing usually knows that. Say what you actually want, which is probably privacy rather than secrecy, and offer the thing you're fine with instead, like a text when you get there. The partner asking needs to be honest about whether this is about logistics or about checking up.
“Trust isn't a dot on a map. If you need to watch it to believe it, you don't believe it.”
