How could you go to a party without me

Suppose a wife is arguing with her husband over why he didn't take her to the party yesterday. The wife knows her husband went to the party because he told her so. In this context, can the wife say any of the following:


1) Wife: How could you go to a party without me?! ("a party" refers to any party at any time, not just the party yesterday)

2) Wife: Why would you go to a party without me?

3) Wife: How could you go to that party without me?! ("that party" refers to the party yesterday)

4) Wife: Why would you go to that party without me?


Also, are "could" and "would" hypothetical in them? And are they all rhetorical questions?
