Grizz - You're doing fine buddy. Try to relax and not breakdown every situation. Do your thing and let her do her thing. Walking on eggshells isn't healthy for you. Act confident in what you're doing while giving her space.

I would also add that walking on eggshells is very unattractive. It's only natural that we do it at first, out of fear of making things worse or sending her packing, but we have to get over it, because it helps no one. If our W’s want out, they can bail on us at any time. It seems to me once we accept this reality and let go of them, they are actually MORE likely to stay/return.
I remember early on in my sitch being worried about silly little things that actually made no difference at all to my wife. I sometimes asked her opinion about things I should have just handled on my own. It made me look weak. No woman wants a weak H.
We have to be ourselves, (well, our new improved self) and let the confidence show. For the M to work, our wives have to choose us, chase us even. Aim for this goal.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
