Jack-Opinion... : ) I liked that...alot.

Reward good behavior, ignore bad behaviour.

You seem to be doing great.

Did you:

1) Thank her for the work? Honestly, not like "kissing her butt over the top thanks."

2) Offer to help, as in, "Anything I can do to help out?"

As a man/husband, part of my journey in this was to learn NOT to take over a project from her. Women...I have found...don't actually like that. When we offer to help, we men tend to take over, because we think we can do it better...and that builds resentment. Offering to help and being partners, letting her direct...you'd be surprised how effective that is.
