yes I did coach. I was sick of it. She drank all night until 11:30am the next morning when we were supposed to leave so at 3pm I left without her, expecting her to follow later but she just bailed. So my foot went down, result was bad. 7 weeks ago no hope of reconciling. Now who knows but things are better between us and I have told her she has to fix her current sitch and she promises she will.
So it worked!?!?!
Follow her actions. Learn to validate her feelings, don't get defensive and don't rescue her. Let her come to you.
