Are All Filipinas Insanely Jealous?

any number of Filipino men who have strayed and cheated on their wives or girlfriends

Which is where my standard answer came from.  When they ask if I am married, I say:  "I am married, but don't have a girlfriend yet".  All the locals laugh, many expats look confused.  Just be careful... some will call you bluff ha ha

Also, for many of us here it's our 2nd or 3rd time around with marriage (myself included) so maybe that influences things too - based on the idea if he could leave his 1st wife and family then he could leave me too, perhaps?  

You've raised a very valid point for why many Filipinas have jealousy issues. My Filipina wife will often ask me if she is as bad as my 1st wife, and of course I always say NO.

My current Mrs is VERY jealous of the first one ...also a Filipina , who I was divorced from in 2006,  whom I haven't even spoken to for about 5 years, and who also remarried years ago !

Not uncommon, jealously is one thing how ever what annoys me is fone snooping. Time an time again I know she is in my fone checking, especially if I am in shower...I find this very annoying.

Not that she will admit too...maybe.

Yes... this one annoys me also.  Although it does happen less often than it used to at least.

Get a phone with a fingerprint lock 

[GeoffH]

I've got one but it's also got a PIN code... SWMBO always asks for the PIN code and I've given up changing it.

 

IMHO you've got to pick your battles and I've got nothing to hide... I find it's easier to *sigh* and put up with it.

I understand how you feel but to me it would be annoying, especially if I don´t have anything to hide. By doing this she basically saying that she don´t trust you! Try to explain to her that a good relationship is based on trust and if she don´t want to understand that, ask to have the PIN code to her phone, and check it up on a regular basis so she can see what you are doing.

Maybe it´s just me who are sensitive about things like this, but I would really dislike if my partner didn´t trusted me

I have never asked my wife for her password, and she has never asked me for mine. But to look at videos or pics, we regularly unlock our phones and hand them over to each other. Nothing to hide, but no need for the passwords :)
