Ok I'll give you the answer.....
People must be accountable for themselves. Or at worst, a friend. But never a partner. It puts the partner into a reward/punish position which she will end up resenting very quickly, and you will also come to resent it, just as you already have. It basically turns you into a parent which is a recipe for disaster. You aren't her parent, she's an adult and can take care of her own sh*t without you trying to parent her, even if neither of you see it that way, that's the way it will go.
