Do you spend New Years Eve with your OH?

Ah sorry! Nah on a normal night that'd be fine, of course you don't have to invite the persons OH, but I was saying in the case of a special occasion where the couple would probably prefer to be together.

Yeah that's what everyone else meant too I presume.

Boston

oops

Pythia

Yeah, we'll be spending it together. I'm off on holidays the following day so I won't be partying too much, but I wouldn't spend it without him

ive spent the last 2 new years with my ex, gonna be a bit weird this year but gonna go out & have fun & hopefully not think about him at all

i know a lot of couples that wont be spending it together, cause of work or holidays or whatever. if new years is actually important to you then i understand why you would be annoyed at no invite. im not a big new years fan though, always a bit of an anti-climax.

OP, is there something you're leaving out? Do you get on with his brother/girlfriend? Have they ever met you? Are you and your b/f going through a rocky patch?

To be honest, any reasonable person wouldn't do this, so I wonder is there more to this?

Faith

I'd love to, but he's working .

I start the year as i mean to go on so i spend mine with my children. And yes OH will be there too

I wouldnt feel right about not being with my kids even though they are asleep. I'll kiss them at midnight while they sleep and make a wish that they will always be with me throughout the year. (meaning that nothing happens to them throughout the year, its my biggest fear, every mothers i'm sure)

I've never been out on a New Years Eve even when single, I dont know why but it doesnt appeal to me now that i'm old and superstitious

Boston

Its like this, when ever I have a party or a get together I always make it clear partners are welcome to my friends, but I leave it to them to decide if they want their partner there. So if the OP wasn't invited, its probably because here other half doesn't want her there.

Ginny

Yup, we're staying in though, my friends are having a family type night in in s friends house and if we went we'd have to book somewhere to stay, so its just us for the night.

Am indeed. We're just going to the pub with lots of mates, then a house party. I have to go out for new year's - stayed in once with an ex and it was horribly dull. Clock struck midnight and it was "eh... happy new year..."

Any mates you could go out with?




It's disappointing for the OP certainly, but I don't understand... why should the guy's brother and his girlfriend feel obliged to invite her?

They are together 3 years, which even at a young age would warrant a certain level of commitment IMO
I'll be going away to Wicklow with my OH and his friends

Personally I'd be a little put out at not being invited. I'm headed to a little drinks night with my OH (as he is coming from Dublin i'll head there first and he'll follow). I am looking forward to it!

A friend said it to me today actually, asked would it be weird for me because we (the OH and I) weren't spending it together (we're going out with respective friends). We go to college together so when Christmas comes around I like to spend a lot of it with family and friends I wouldn't see a lot. And he's the same. So we're spending it apart. But we're going to Paris next week together (my bday pressie!)

Censorsh!t

This is my first new years with my boyfriend, and we're spending it together at one of my friend's parties and then going back to his gaf sometime in the noight.
New years is for friends and boy/girlfriends. Christmas is for family though

XJR

We usually spend NYE together but for the last few years we have have had a third along to spice it up and start the year with a bang.

She Devil

I think the issue the OP should be having is with her OH and not his brother.

My OH to is guard!ing the streets of dubland to, so is not spending it with me, it really upsets me, I just want to be with him and thats it. At midnight i will be crying because i want to be with him and nobody else.

Fox McCloud

The last two years have been spnt with the OH but this year have to work damn bar work! t'will be strange ringing in the new year with the people i work with rather than friends!

aloevera

theboyf and i always spend it together. TBH i couldnt imagine not spending it without him, and i dont think he could either... ..

not many people enjoy new years though, i even know a good few couple who stay in etc..

we love it though, new yers kiss and all..
