Sorry to be chiming in with no answer, just to say this is exactly what I struggle with now with a WAW who feels it all withered, doesn't want to work on it ("just leave me alone") and no arguing, no animosity, no nothing except a weary "fait accompli" attitude on her part (I think; I'm mind-reading, here).

Anyway, fwiw, my questions exactly...

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
