How can I drop my suspicions towards my wife?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Your suspicion of others is merely a reflection of your own self-doubt; when you embrace and trust yourself, you will naturally extend that trust to those around you."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, your suspicion of your wife is a projection of your own self‑mistrust and repressed desires. Until you accept and trust yourself—including natural attractions—you will read your inner conflict onto her. Drop repression, own your impulses, and cultivate self‑acceptance; trust in yourself flowers into trust in others, dissolving chronic suspicion and the need to control.
Trust and accept yourself first, or you’ll keep projecting your hidden urges onto your wife as suspicion.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from policing your partner to owning your feelings and behavior.
- Reduce anxiety by accepting normal attractions without guilt or repression.
- Foster honest conversation and clear agreements based on trust, not control.
