This question is a spin-off from the thread "High School Reunions" (The responses there are mixed between go/no-go, but those who say "Won't go" seem to be quite emotional and emphatic about it.)
My wife's 50th is imminent. It's a few states away, and she wanted to go but didn't know how she'd get there. (She doesn't drive, for medical reasons.) I said that I would take a couple of vacation days and go with her. Over the years we have been married I have met some of her high school classmates, and one is her cousin. She was overjoyed, until I added "I need to meet all the boys at your school, and find out what THEY got on the first date."
How about you? Go, or no-go?
Would you go with your spouse, partner, or S/O to his/her High School Reunion?
On the one hand, is it much different from any other party - the company picnic, the wedding of the nephew you haven't seen in 10 years, etc. On the other hand, it's a party for him/her - you don't really know those people, and probably don't have any connections to them. Of course, in a small minority of cases, the two of you may have attended school together, or at least close by schools, so there is some overlap of friends.
