You did a big 180 and it did the job by shocking your W. Now she wonders if you may be ready to call it quits. Be prepared for her asking some questions about that. Don't discuss the R at this time. That does not work. Both of you are acting out of emotions, so don't get into a R discussion or about the future, etc. Play it cool and give vague answers so that she will still wonder what you are going to do.
