IMO

GAL mandates meeting new people. Getting out of the comfort zone too. Along with what I mentioned earlier, I joined a writer's group and took a French class, and a cooking class and a pottery class---way different for me. Also auditioned for shows in the community and eventually did stand up comedy.

But in each case it meant meeting new people who did NOT know of my marital sitch. IT really helps. That's why we hammer it.

So, GAL and meet new people. Get yourself there somehow. No taxis in town? NO bikes? No rides available? You'll NEVER buy another car or what?

I mean, how long will "walking to the bar" be your GAL? It's part of how you got where you are. It'd be the first thing I'd drop, frankly. And can you host something at your home? Poker?

Rent a comedy and have some friends over? Ask for a ride from someone else doing your new GAL activity? But do something new/different.

Your w won't return - unless she thinks marriage to you can be better/different than before.
Your job is to show her that it can be.

Not easy to do perhaps, but not complicated either..
