To me that wasn't an unreasonable request. YMMV

I support completely, and applaud you for it.

My GF was terrified of firearms when I started her shooting, and I don't think she'll ever get comfortable, no matter how many speeches by lauded instructors. She is most comfortable with safeties as well, and if it gets her to shoot, vs. freezing up, I will put the time into drilling her on safety manipulation until its a brainstem function. It's a compromise, true, but better than the alternative.

FYI: She loves to go shooting, and asks frequently when we're going next. I didn't intend to make it sound like I make her handle firearms against her will. The munchkin OTOH, was a born shooter. Can't get the grins off either face for a long time. Ammo is cheap good mood insurance!
