Hey Thornton, I can identify with your situation. I am an alcholic and went through the dry drunk stage. That's something she will have to work through on her own. You can't help her with that except to be supportive. She probably does not know her identity with not drinking, I know I didn't. It took my wife leaving me for me to GAL.
You mentioned you two used to do everything together, so it sounds like you'll need to find your own GAL activites as well. Focus on what you can control- YOU.
What's your workout routine? What activities do you like to do? What can you do to spend more time with your kids? What made your fiancee fall in love with you? Are you that same person? What do you need to work on in yourself?
When she comes over tonight to get her things, don't bring up relationship talk. Do be chipper, read through the 37 rules and apply them. Help her load the car, don't ask questions, and validate her feelings if she expressed them.
