"Well she has allowed me to do things around the house and has said thank you for helping her."
The "thank you" is a plus, although her "allowing" you to do things in your own home is controlling.
When you interact with her, do you give off the vibe of a person who does something just to gain her approval or do you do it for the sake of doing it?
Be assertive and get your balls back. You are your own man who does things because he wants to. Not because it will get a response from your W.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
