Detecting the Symptoms of Jealousy in Mexican Women

Have you ever heard of the saying “Jealousy is a disease”?

It’s very much self-explanatory. In fact, disease perfectly sums up how much this feeling takes a huge toll on us. It poisons your mind into developing a mindset where, instead of being happy for others, you would have the urge to one-up them.

Acapulco is filled with women who are blessed and gifted in many ways. Some seem to excel in their own field more than others, and it’s obvious from the way they carry themselves.

Brains. Beauty. Talent. Skill.

Either they were born with it or they worked hard to get where they are. It doesn’t matter much because all your Latina partner sees is the now, and in her eyes the woman you brushed past by is a much better catch than she is.

Feelings of jealousy would often stem from insecurity. We grow insecure because, human as we are, we can’t help but compare ourselves to others.

Her feelings are perfectly valid, of course. We don’t really have the power to dictate what we should feel and neither does your partner. Letting it drag on for too long, though, it will cause serious damage to your relationship.

Before this disease can get out of control, you must take the initiative to prevent the worst from happening.

Let’s have a check up, shall we?

Signs and Symptoms

Like all doctors say, prevention is ALWAYS better than cure. By managing the things that can be controlled, you could reduce your chances of ruining your relationship by a 99.9%.

The thing about Mexicanas is that they approach jealousy very differently compared to other Latinas. They won’t make a scene or throw a tantrum — they would much rather take it out on you with their ingenious schemes.

We don’t really want the situation to escalate that far, do we?

If you want to make sure a telenovela scenario doesn’t happen in real life, you might want to read on about these telltale signs of jealousy.

1. She gets paranoid when you’re with other women

To her, every woman that comes close to you is a potential threat, most especially when they have attractive physical qualities.

Your best friend’s sister who you share a platonic bond with? Threat.

That one lady at the laundromat that you asked for a single tide pod from? Threat.

What about that one distant cousin who you haven’t seen in a long time? Sweet home Alabama, she’s still a threat.

Even if you barely even know them, much less give a damn about them, these women are a competition in her eyes. And speaking of eyes, you can tell if she’s jealous by the way she looks at these women.

If she’s giving her the side-eye or the up and down once-over, then you know she’s jealous.

2. She doubts your words

Once she’s suspicious of you, there is no getting off her watch.

When she asks you a question you already gave an answer to? That’s a big red flag right there.

She may possibly be looking for assurance that she’s the only one in your life and that you’re not seeing someone else. But even if you give her the same answer over and over again, she still doubts you.

Once your partner starts mistrusting you, nothing can get through her anymore. Unless she has a good reason to be suspicious of you, she would most likely think of the worst that could happen when you are away.

3. She snoops around your phone

Some couples are comfortable with giving their partners access to their phones, some are not.

Now this doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t trust them. It’s either they prefer it to keep their privacy or they’re not yet comfortable sharing that part of themselves.

Latinas, on the other hand, expect you to give them access to your phone if you truly have nothing to hide. It’s a common dating practice among Latin Americans that you would have to get used to.

What you shouldn’t get used to, though, is if your partner constantly checks up on your contact history and texts.

It’s perfectly fine if done in moderation. Perhaps she’s curious or helping you make your phone more user-friendly. But if done in excess, that’s going to be a problem you would want to address.

4. She feels the need to prove your relationship

There’s nothing wrong with being proud of your relationship and showing it off to others. In fact, it would boost anyone’s ego. Anyone would be happy if they were to be introduced to their partner’s close friends and family with praise and compliments.

That’s only if their intentions are in the right place.

Let’s say you are at a party and there’s this woman who seems to be interested in you. You brush her off and move onto the next conversation. Your partner, on the other hand, would possessively hold you.

It’s cute at first. Then it starts to get a bit suffocating.

Is she doing it because she really loves you and wants to brag about how lucky to have found each other? Or is it to show others that you’re taken because she’s jealous?

Being treated like a trophy is not the greatest feeling in the world and it would make anyone feel used.

5. She sulks

While Latinas are generally viewed as spitfires, Mexicanas beg to differ.

It is not uncommon for Mexican women to hide their feelings by feigning happiness when they are anything but happy. She might seem like her usual self, nothing out of the ordinary, but her actions say otherwise.

She won’t ignore you or stay silent. But she will pretend not to have heard you or keep her feelings to herself.

She’s basically shutting you out.

How to address jealousy in a relationship

And now that we’ve learned how to detect signs of jealousy, it’s time for us to address the root of this problem — insecurity.

There’s a reason why your partner acts that way, and it’s because she’s looking for some sort of assurance that you’ll stay with her.

There are 3 ways to ease away her insecurities in a relationship:

1. words of assurance
2. physical affection
3. trust

For every time she shows any signs of jealousy or insecurity, you would have to find a way to get rid of those thoughts. I tell you, it will take a lot of time and effort, especially for that last bit.

But if you want to make it work and you’re dedicated to MAKING it work, then it should be a breeze.

Don’t wait until her jealousy becomes a fatal sickness that will cause your relationship to deteriorate. Get rid of it, before it gets rid of you.
