Man. The fact that stalkerware is used so often on people's domestic partners that they call it "spouseware" is pretty fuckin' bleak.
Also, how is that not illegal?
Damn, you aren't kidding. Also, people, just a little advice from an old man, if you feel the need to stalk/spy on your SO, just understand the relationship is already over and move one without doing this kind of shit.
As an old woman I agree. The idea that revenge or forcing someone to admit what you suspected will make you feel better in any way, shape or form is a waste of energy at best. At worst it's stupid and myopic.
Walking away from it is far more healthy and so much easier. Chalk it up to a learning experience.
I could only mildly understand using something like it on your small childs computer, but anything more than that is awful.
