Hey I applaud you for putting yourself out there!
I think the fact that you've managed to marry and have kids is fantastic. It's a big social hurtle that a lot of hermits never end up making it with, so you should be very proud of yourself for being vulnerable with another human being like that.
Tbh, I think over time that it ends up quite normal for people as they age to really just have their spouse and kids as their main "friends" without many others externally. So I think you're doing pretty good on the weirdness and socialization scales haha.
But yeah I totally get you wanting to allow your wife a breather and have some other buddies to share the "social burden" with (I don't mean it negatively, just not sure how to phrase it).
Best of luck to you!
