Sometimes rules are meant to be broken - it seems like you knew what you were doing and you didn't push it so hard that she shut down on you. That's the REAL danger of R talks - the WAS is not ready to hear them, so the talk is 100% pressure / pursuit in their eyes - which is pretty much guaranteed to set your efforts back. On top of that, our WAS's are so flaky and unpredictable, you can never be really sure when it's a "safe" time to bring this stuff up.
So, you did OK. Just be careful not to be given an inch and try to take a mile. Back off a bit, certainly in terms of R talks, and re-focus on your DBing - GALing, PMA, etc. That's what got you this far - right? So that's what you want to keep up. "More of what works, less of what doesn't."
