Not even! It is a special language endemic to women under pressure and 
about...to...blow...

No, not 'respected and beloved', but more like "I'm remembering what my 
mother always said about you and at the moment I'm not remembering what was 
so fascinating about you that I would ever have incurred her wrath when I 
brought you into the bosom of our family..." and that's before she begins 
to contemplate the presence of your underthings on the bathroom floor, a 
scarce six inches from the basket; the bits of hair in the bathroom sink; 
the eternal presence of the stair machine, which you use as a handy place 
to hang laundry; the inability to move from room to room without making a 
racket; the bellows at the tv when your team is losing, the shouts when 
they win; and the mark on the ceiling where you jumped up too fast from the 
sofa and the cheez doodles and beer slammed above you...

No, far from 'respected and beloved', is it a reprieve- a woman's way of 
saying "I don't remember why I love you, but I do. And you damn well better 
be grateful!"
