When couples become isolated together and don't know how to reconnect with the world

My wife and I are both introverts who moved to a new city during the pandemic, and now that things are opening up, we realize we've become each other's entire social world in a way that feels suffocating but also safe. Neither of us knows how to make new friends anymore and we're afraid of losing what we have if we try to expand our circle.

What we've seen
