I would consider the possibility that your inability to express your feelings adequately (to her standards) coupled with the fact that you are unemployed and living with her - all combined, she might feel like she is being used. I would reassure her that you intend to see this relationship all the way through and that you are deeply appreciative of her generosity. Basically, spin the negative to a positive. You can't rightly say, "Yeah, I know I'm mooching off you and you probably feel pressured to stay in a job you hate because you have both of us to support."
I don't mean any of this as a criticism of your circumstance. Just be extra sensitive to how she might perceive it and go the extra mile so she doesn't feel exploited. Be attentive.
