I don’t think they were implying that at all. Instead imagine the situation where you send your spouse into a burning building and then they go out the back door and don’t call you. If the wife was afraid the seller was a murderer, this isn’t a case of needing to know where their partner is 24/7. It’s knowing where their partner is after what they view is a very unsafe situation.
Frankly, I can easily imagine them going "hey let's got for a beer and see which one of our two paranoiacs freaks out first".
One could argue that thinking the woman selling a lamp on Facebook marketplace is a murderer is an unusually paranoid thought
Maybe a lamp isn't worth sending your husband to 'certain death' then. If you're really that concerned about buying off FB marketplace just go to HomeGoods™ ffs, they've got lamps too.
Guess that is more of an indication of her priorities, "a possible chance at a discount on this mass produced lamp is worth the chance that my husband literally dies."
I was using an extreme example. She was afraid of being murdered, doesn’t mean that she is afraid of the same for her husband. All it means is that it’s a different situation. It has nothing to do with tracking your husband’s whereabouts 24/7
