When couples struggle with loneliness and different social needs in a new place

My partner and I moved to a new city together six months ago and we're both struggling to make friends, but we're handling it so differently — I want to put ourselves out there and try things while they retreat more into just us, and now I'm feeling guilty for wanting more social connection when they seem content with what we have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are navigating the tender territory between being enough for each other and needing more, while honoring different styles of reaching toward connection.
