Squid,
It seems a statement such as "I feel like a whore" is more closely linked to how she sees you than anything else. A disordered mind is most likely to feel whatever is mirrored to them. This illness is characterized by a lack of emotional intimacy. They don't give it and we, evidently, don't require it because we stay in these relationships long after we know emotional intimacy is never going to happen. These relationships are safe for the both of us until their disorder kicks in or we finally realize we deserve better. Don't confuse intensity for intimacy.
What does this say about us?

Suspect you are right, I only heard it when she was irritated with me... she lived 3 hrs away and sometimes I would need to leave earlier than she wanted... then those comments came out. I guess it says we enjoy sex with the people we are in love with... . what it says about them... . perhaps they tolerate it and are not in love, or even really capable of being in love.
