Hi MP, have you thought about fitness or other classes? I have been doing yoga and aqua aerobics for a while now, and enjoy both. There's no particular need to socialise, but the longer you go, the more people have a little chat or a bit of banter with you. Also, maybe another kind of class? It can be easier to be in company if you are focused on an activity too...

I also enjoy volunteering in my local charity bookstore. That is quite social, but again you chat like you would chat at work - off and on - because you're busy doing other things. Depending on your skills and preferences, there may be other volunteering you might enjoy perhaps.

Also, would you consider a support group related to your sitch? I went to an infidelity group for a while and it was helpful. I'm planning to go to a divorce support group later this year. Often churches organise things like this..

I also go to a book group at our local library, which is pretty low key - a nice one for us book lovers.

Hope there might be something in there you might enjoy and good luck :-)
