No. Walking out in the middle of the actual play could probably be considered rude but even then you'd be within your rights to. After all they already have your money and as long as you're not creating a disturbance, what does it matter? For all anyone else knows you had a family emergency and had to leave.

I will say this, I feel like we are definitely socialized to see things through to the end. It took me ages to figure out that if I'm watching a movie (for example) that's just terrible or boring, I can just get up and leave and not waste my time.

I am curious if your girlfriend has had anxiety issues (presently or in the past). A lot of that kind of thinking - "those people will see us and think poorly!" - is also something I've struggled with and the answer is that no one cares. At best people would notice some empty seats after intermission and so what?
