I don't see that happening - at least not yet I guess - because that's not her style. In many ways she's been loving and supportive through this (self interests in mind likely, but still genuine tears at times) so I don't see her being disrespectful.

Interested in what I'm doing? No, I agree. Wondering why I'm acting differently all of the sudden and being "quiet?" I disagree. This is foreign to her. Now, she might not care too much, but she's definitely thinking something is up.
