Meeting People is Easy and Other Lessons in Partying Alone
My girlfriend recently got back from a nearly month-long trip in Germany. She was there with one of her friends, while I was back in the United States working.
Now, I've been with my girlfriend for six years, of which we've pretty much lived together for four. We're as close to being married as makes no difference. So, when something occurs like this, it's a little odd at first. If you have a long-term significant other, or even a best friend whom you typically rely on for doing things, a sort of social safety net is formed. If you don't feel like going out partying, you can simply stay in with that person. Even if you're not doing anything, that person is there to do nothing with. While this is a great comfort (and something that's glaringly missing when that person is absent) it's also a crutch in a way.
