If i use 'go' instead of 'get' will there be any difference in meaning?

I don’t get to see them very often, there’s always an excuse.

Hasibul Alam I don’t get to see them very often ; there’s always an excuse. I don’t go to see them very often ; there’s always an excuse don't get to ~ don't have an opportunity to ~ don't have a chance to don't go to ~ don't travel to ~ don't drive to As you see, the meaning is different. If you have two independent clauses with no conjunction between them, you can't connect them with a comma.
