Welcome to SoberRecovery!!
I can't relate so much to the marriage thing because I am single, but I can relate to losing those so-called "friends". While I do have a couple of sober friends who have been a good support, I'm finding that I have to give up being around those that I drank with. It's kind of funny when you look back on it and realize the only thing you really had in common with them is drinking.
If you haven't been to an AA meeting, you might consider trying one. I know in the meetings I've been to, I've heard very similar stories to yours about how to deal with spouses that still drink. You'd be surprised at the kind of support you can find there.
Also, keep coming around here. There's a ton of good support here.
