Because one does not order a "coping mechanism" if one if feeling cheerful.

Bourbon has always been Faye's "coping mechanism". She is probably calling it that with regard to her personal history. I'm sure she's a little unsettled by the events at the train station but perhaps not quite so much as that phrase might suggest.
VonKleist:
Well, I..uhh.. heard there supposedly are people who are uncomfortable with that kind of display of affection and that it makes them run away justasquick. Even though they care for the person very much.
I do hope Faye´s just gonna wake up hung over and come to the conclusion she might as well let it go for now and see how things´ll turn out if you don't instantly obsess about ´em.
Welu:
It could be a negative in that she's just realized how big the situation is, how attached she is to Angus and now the relationship isn't in the beginning, fun, casual stage any more. If the relationship ends now, it'll matter to her. She's scared of getting hurt again.

Why do you think it's a facade? Why would she sob or be downcast or have something wrong?
This isn't a negative event, this is a giant positive. She's reacting to its size, not its quality. The man she cares about said loves her, she said it back, and now she's grappling with the dimension of that. If she starts crying, they're gonna be tears of joy or tension, not sadness. Right now, she's genuinely, cheerfully happy- in vino veritas and all that.

And if she is indeed genuinely happy over this (although she didn't seem that happy at the bar to me), considering it some kind of massive emotional breakthough, then Marten truly has no reason to suspect something's wrong requiring him to stay home and comfort her. He's perfectly justified in acting as he has, annoyed at the timing of this particular bender and resolving to leave her at home. I see nothing jerkish about that, especially if he doesn't think anything's wrong.
