In the movie business they say: "show, don't tell"

It is the one thing from the movies that is also applicable in life. Telling her the consequences of her actions is useless, but showing those consequences to her might just help.

I don't mean you should pack up and go - but you could try taking some more alone time. Keep her less in the loop about what you're doing when you are alone (because, apparently, telling her feeds into her insecurities). When she asks about the how and why, tell her that you love her but you are doing this for yourself, not her. Respond when she treats you like you want to be treated, ignore her otherwise. Make all you actions align with your words.
