It really is the most frustrating thing about Tonks I think. In OoTP we see this a take action, take no bullshit kind of girl. Then in HBP we see her completely defeated, depressed and all because of Remus?
Personally I always thought that more had to be playing into her emotions, other than the fact that Remus is rejecting her. Fear, anger and sadness about the war and the deaths, the fact that she is overworked and perhaps under appreciated.
I think you have a great start, as to why she was feeling what she was feeling. Go with what you think, what you wanted to have happen and how you think it could fit into Tonks' character and the canon.
You won't be able to please everyone, but if you write it so it's believable and your heart is it, then it will come off.
I hope I was helpful, and I can't wait until to see the finished project!
