"Your worry about your partner's past reveals more about your own conditioning than about love; embrace her experiences, for they enrich your relationship with understanding and trust."
According to Osho, your worry about your partner’s past springs from inherited male chauvinism and the ancient obsession with paternity/property, not love. It’s a double standard: men’s pasts are excused while women’s are policed. He calls the wish for an “untouched” partner unintelligent; experience makes a lover more understanding and less troublesome. Drop the conditioning, honor her experience, and relate with trust, not ego.
You’re worried because old sexist ideas and insecurity, not love, tell you to be—appreciate that experience can make love kinder and easier.
