Actually it's not really a radical direction. You are reinforcing the idea that you care for her and understand her needs. The only difference is that you are now stating YOUR needs.
The thing about MLC is that the people under its spell will blame their spouse and family members that they are the ones at fault. It is a very selfish time for them, so all you're doing is lovingly giving her what she wants. She will also be prone to extreme mood swings which have been so evident just the past couple of weeks alone.
You don't have to be mean about it, just matter-of-factly, the same way she's been saying it to you.
Going back to the stray cat analogy. You've given her all the food, water and shelter but she still wants to roam free. Well, let her. She's leaving any way. The only thing you're doing is upping her schedule to what's convenient for YOU.
Just tell her that you were getting a little tired of being her punching bag and don't want to be angry at her. But if she insists of remaining angry at you for the past, then you would appreciate it if she not continue to treat you badly.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
