I want to make friends in my area, but my wife is too shy

So our weekends we always keep to ourself. She doesn't even like when family comes over. I have looked for meetups with other parents, but I can't get her out of her shell. What's funny, is she is much better at conversation then I am, but she doesn't seem to miss socializing, because she can just talk to her mom every night.

She might be an introvert, but it's healthy for her to make a few friends. She needs to get out of her comfort zone. And it's good for you to have friends. Did you talk to her about how you feel?

@Eyetrace: you expressed yourself well here. maybe you should write out how you feel and tell her it's easier for you to write it out and let her read it.

I want to spend time with more people then just her. I want to experience more in life then work on weekdays and chores and maybe dinner when it's just trying to get the kids calm enough so we can eat.

I would feel embarrassed. Maybe.

oohhhhh you need to break that cord as fast as you can! Trust me, the Mom cord can go south real fast if your not paying attention, happened to me!
there is nothing wrong with being quiet thought and not wanting to socialize much.. I don't either.
But I know it can get frustrating.

Hey future me, please explain more. What is the mom cord. What happened to you. What is your advice.
