We're notoriously bad at figuring out what will make us happy in the future, including a few minutes into the future. So you think you might enjoy yourself more if you don't stick with her. You're probably wrong, and there's no way to know for sure. The best chance you have of finding out is a) do it or b) find other people in a similar situation who are experiencing what you're considering. Find other people who were in a long term relationship, decided to end it so they could party more, then tried to return to a previous relationship. See how happy they are. Then find other people 10-20 years further along; either those who did the same, or those who stuck with their partner.
Inability to forecast aside, ask yourself what you really value. Do the pleasures of a party life really contribute much? Is it really the best use of your time?
But one other thing which may be obvious to you, but which isn't to me, but why can't you party with your girlfriend?
