Jean isn't supposed to control the Phoenix, she's supposed to do it's work! Twice when the Phoenix has manifested as it's dark persona (the only time she wasn't in "control"😉, Jeans main consciousness was either suppressed or not present it was simply her rage and passion personified. When she fully connects there are rushes and she sometimes needs to be grounded, once she is, there are no issues of control, she goes about her work. Jean got over Scott the moment she pushed him to be with Emma, a separated and confused fraction of the force thought it needed Scott to attain power enough to end this separation and confusion. Scott never had problems with their marriage until after he was separated from Apocalypse. Could you imagine being wrapped as tightly as him and then suddenly finding yourself merged with somebody you consider to be ultimately evil, yet you have no say in what is going on, I imagine anybody would be a completely different person, his life was essentially over and then he was given a second chance minus the psi-link, which was created by Jean's telepathy in the first place, it's strange she didn't even seem to want to reestablish it.
