[quote=Anonymous]It's become clear to me that I've grown too dependent on my spouse for emotional support, etc. due to our pandemic bubble.  He's pushing me away (subtly), probably unconsciously, and I don't blame him.  (Ok at first this hurt a lot, but I now see I've become too dependent, which is a turn off.).

This should be easy to fix in theory, but some of my old go-to activities no longer exist and I feel like I lost touch with a lot of people due to how people prioritized contacts over the course of the pandemic.  What also makes it hard is that people are still approaching covid risks differently, so it's still feeling awkward initiating social activities.

What are good ways to re-connect with people you haven't seen in a long time?  What about meeting new people?   I've started to give meetup a try - seems kind of crazy, but I need things like that where I'm engaged on my own, as opposed to only having an identity through my spouse or kids.

Does this sound familiar to anyone reading this?  What works/helps in this kind of situation? [/quote]
