Yes, because voicing concern for your girlfriend's physical and mental health is SO overbearing. Who does that?

From the way she's all "Oh well I GUESS i'll stop being incredibly overbearing and pushing, cause when i do that you don' do what i WANT, and instead get all MAD n shit about it, so i GUESS i'll stop"

If she were respecting a boundary she wouldn't make a big pronouncement of how she's respecting it and why, she'd just stop being pushy, or even apologize for having been pushy and not respecting dora's boundaries.

Well, voicing stuff is sometimes better than not to, even though it might sound annoying. How else is your partner going to find out what's what? Telepathy? And Tai is reacting well - she pushes, and when she sees that Dora is annoyed, she remembers what happened last time and backs off. She's not very subtle, and she's not using reverse psychology. In this instance, she reminds me a lot of a friend - if he asks 'is it OK if I go out tonight?' and the partner says in that passive-aggressive tone 'Well go then, have fun' He'll just say 'Thanks, see ya later!' and will not notice that anything is amiss.
