Some people love this technology. Some hate it. But either way, it has changed something fundamental about how we demonstrate our love and how we set boundaries around relationships. Today, we\u2019re sharing a few of our favorite listener responses. Then, Host Anna Martin talks with Arlon Jay Staggs, a Modern Love essayist who has wrestled deeply with whether to share his location.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At first, location sharing wasn\u2019t a big deal for Staggs and his mother. He took a lot of long drives, and it made sense for her to keep tabs on him. But when he realized his mother was watching his little blue dot too closely, and it was causing her stress when she needed peace of mind, Staggs decided the sharing had to stop. He just couldn\u2019t figure out how to tell her. And when tragedy struck his family, the stakes of his decision to share or not share became a lot higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/how-to-submit-a-modern-love-essay.html\" title>how to submit a Modern Love essay to The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/09\/19\/style\/modern-love-tiny-love-stories.html?pgtype=Article&amp;action=click&amp;module=RelatedLinks\" title>how to submit a Tiny Love Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
