It may be her own anxiety that is getting the better of her, as trippin suggests. I don't get that feeling from your initial post, though. I get the feeling that she is attempting to 'prompt' or 'elicit' emotional responses that she expects, and within a certain time frame. Whether or not that is healthy is something for you to think about, balanced against what you know of your behavior and hers.
I think you sound like a fairly self aware person, and you seem to have a good grasp of what your potential faults/blind spots are. I would trust your 'instincts' or feelings about her behavior. If you feel like she is attempting to be manipulative or controlling, you might think about what there is in the relationship, if anything, that might have prompted this behavior. Or is it a long-running behavior you have always found a way to 'deal with'?
Sometimes in long-term relationships we get used to dealing with certain behaviors in certain ways, and it can be difficult to see when that is happening, and even more difficult to change it.
Trust your insights.
