It is good that you acknowledge you have this problem with misinterpreting what people say and always thinking the worst and that they have ulterior motives. The next step is not to get your wife to accept this problem you have, but to solve your problem. Just think how much better life will be for you (and your wife and family and friends) if you can learn to take people at their word and accept what they say as sincere. I am not sure how you will change this problem you have, but one idea is counseling. Perhaps some books out there could help too.
Good luck with solving your problem.
