Join a club for your favorite hobby. Coed sports is my go-to

Yeah, that's a great idea. Thing is that I'm the shut-in while the wife needs social interaction or she shrivels up. I'm just trying to find situations where she feels welcomed and comfortable.

Group classes are also a fun option. Pottery, cooking , ice skating. Best of luck.

... Also you could just sit at the bar and chat up randos. My GF and I have made a few friends shooting the breeze at the local watering hole

I appreciate the suggestions.

In addition to the groups/clubs mentioned above, depending on your interests, financial bandwidth and where specifically in Boston/the Boston area you live, could also consider joining a country club.
