You are absolutely correct. Naturally there is going to be some sort of 'clashing' if something is not done to a persons standards by the other person. But, that being said, she should have just done it in the first place herself instead of asking me to do it 'knowing' that it would probably not be done the way she wanted it.

Agreed, it's basically her way or no way. She has said I am 'not a real man' because I'm not the greatest cook, which I found hurtful.

I wonder why you want me to be here. And I wonder if maybe I should leave."

That is a very good point and one I shall mention. What is the point to a partnership when it seems to be a one sided relationship. What ate either of us getting out of this?
