“The rules aren’t set rules for our relationship, they’re just things we do,” she explained.

The couple’s first habit is to share their location 24/7 via Google Maps.

“Honestly, we rarely use it, we don’t use it to stalk each other,” he said.

Alyssa said it’s more about convenience, like if one needs to pick the other up somewhere.

Many people said “what about personal freedom?” and we call it ‘controller’, but we don’t use it as a control mechanism,’ he explained.

The couple also share passwords and leave their phones unlocked.

“My partner and I know each other’s phone passwords, these are not all passwords, but they are definitely our phones,” he said.

She explained that they didn’t specifically decide to share passwords, it just happened over time.
