Glad that you managed to speak to your partner. Your partner sounds wonderful, and I hope that your new job and living works out well. Joining a new workplace is a challenge in itself, but don't be afraid to say "do you mind if I join you"..... People very, very rarely say 'no'. They will want to know about the new person, but just remember as well that people like to talk about themselves as well.
I went to a group interview in the past.. Where you had to join up with someone else in the room and find out 2 things in common that you had with this other person, and all within 3 minutes...
What stuck in my mind was that the two young girls that paired up came back and said that they had nothing in common but had a good chat anyway.... I was so surprised that two young girls could not find one single thing in common! The lads there all found out so much about each other.. Even finding out that they both didn't like olives!!!! (How did they discover that in 3 mins?) (by way, the chap I was paired up with, became a friend after 3 mins... We found out we had both moved away and both moved back, both married, both looked at living in a wooden lodge on the same park, both liked Spurs, neither of us had an x box, and both of us had ended up buying bricks and mortar again!)
Just really to say, that don't worry about speaking to people in a new place of living or working.. This is a chance to make some new friends, and it sounds like you have a great partner to do this with. Don't be afraid to have chats with people, you may find that in 3 mins of chatting to someone you can actually find out if you have something in common which will be a basis to make a friend... But if not people will still like to have had a chat with you.

although they keep me busy, there is no one to talk to in the evenings or to share my problems with, hence why I joined the forum!
