If you were invited to a party or just a small get-together with some friends and your boyfriend/girlfriend (I am not concerned about fiances and spouses here) could not accompany you (for whatever reason), do you think it is proper to go without him/her?

I think just because they are bf and gf does not mean you have to stop your life every time one can't be with the other one. You should have your life and time when you spend without each other. I think its ok to go but of course one should always remember one's limits and maners, and everything else should be fine.

just what kind of small get-together is this?...for what purpose?

Well, that's true. I'm all in favor of having a life. However, I do think that it's pref. to attend social occasions as a couple. If you had a test to study for or a family arrangement, would you like it if your boyfriend went out to enjoy the evening with a group of friends? Don't you want to enjoy these social outings as a couple? And don't you think it makes a person feel special if his/her other half had the decency to turn down an invitation if he/she knew that his/her partner is not available to join.

True, it would make me feel special.

it's a hypothetical example

Ok, if its more of a formal occasion, like a B-day party of my best friend
or my cousin's bridal shower, I would probably go. And I am sure my other half would understand. Samaya glavnaya eta paneemaneeye nahadya opsheey eezik
