usually a major event (her job loss) would trigger MLC or have the unhappy person make a drastic decision in order to cures what ails her. At the very beginning of my separation, both of us still used "honey" or other pet names, merely by habit, so maybe that's why the "our" and "we" statements are made by her, perhaps.
It clearly unsettles you that she asks for space then acts as if all is alright and wants acts of service, when she asks, just tell her you have to do something, in a nice way, perhaps her brain will catch up "but what's wrong...oh".
