You need her to sign out of your account using the button with sign out written on it.


Then sign in using her account details. If she doesn't have an account, use the create Apple ID link in the set up window.

I'm not really sure what you are expecting. As I understand this, your wife is using your account which uses your email address, you want your own account but you want to use your email and do so without getting your wife to stop using your email address.


That simply can't be done, unless I misunderstand you, your wife needs to be involved in your solution.
