Have you ever spent New Years w/o

coasterqueen wrote: your significant other/Dh/DW, etc? I really want to go bar hopping for New Years instead of going to DH's friends house. I know I will see a ton of people I know while out and prefer to catch up with them, but DH hates the bars. I used to too, but his friends (sorta my "old" friends) are so stale. I've thought about convincing them to go out to the bars too instead of having a party, then it won't look so bad when I'm not visiting them. I don't think I could go somewhere seperate from Dh, though, I'd feel terrible and miserable. At least if I am with him at his friends I can be miserable with him.

So have you ever spent NYE seperate than your significant other? I will admit the thought crossed my mind, even if it was a thought that I would hook up with him at midnight.

Nope we are in bed before midnight almost every year. LOL

kit_kats_mom replied: Nope. It's our anniversary. That would be wierd.

moped replied: We have only been together for 5 years - always spent it with him so far - but I am sure a time will come when i don't. If I go see my family or whatever.....

Brias3 replied: Since we started dating and through our marriage, there have been two or three times where Bruce has had to be out of town or something but besides that, we don't voluntarily split up for New Year's.

I'm sure there might come a time where we might part ways for some of the night though, like in a situation you're describing.

sparkys2boys replied: no, we always are in bed too before midnight!!!

coasterqueen replied: Ok, don't I sound like the terrible wife? Dh and I do a lot of things apart, well we have for the last 5 or so years, then usually hook up later in the evening, but never on NYE.

Calimama replied: Yes, whether it's deployments or training sessions, the military liked to keep us apart while we were dating. This is our second one together married, and we'll be spending it together.

New Years Eve is my birthday so I wouldn't ever spend it without Dh either. I'm not sure if I would anyways... I usually don't like doing separate things.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: You know, to be honest...I can't remember New Years! Not because I've been drunk (well sometimes), but because with mommy brain, I can't remember yesterday. So I really can't remember if DH and I have been apart on NY. We usually don't do much...if that isn't obvious! LOL! This year we're going to a family party and will probably be home by maybe 9pm.

Go to the bars Karen! Why not...if DH is okay with it...then I would totally go. It's just one night IMO.

grapfruit replied: I think we've done seperate once...but just part of the night. We hooked up later. I have that problem that some of my friends, he doesn't like (he thinks they're snooty ). Usually it's friends from work (prior work actually). So I've hung out w/them and then met him later.

I don't think you're a bad wife, if he's ok w/it then GO HAVE FUN!!!! NYE is suppose to be Fun!

luvmykids replied: I never did, partly because his bday is Jan 2 but we usually celbrated NYE. Also for two of them I was VERY pg and since I couldn't go, he didn't either. But then again, it's always me who wants to go so he was probably happy to have that excuse

BAC'sMom replied: Nope never! This year will be the 18th NYE that we have spent together.

Kaitlin'smom replied: since we have been together I dont think so, I dont remember a time. Actually this year we have a suite booked in Cincy cause we were nto sure if the game time was going to be changed and he did not liek the thought of not being with me at midnight So if they dont change the game we will be at home but if they do we will be in Cincy. and from roumors it looks like we might be in cincy

Boo&BugsMom replied: Nope. We spend whatever we are doing together, especially if it's at a bar. We don't do bars without each other. Well actually we aren't really bar people anyways, but if we did go to one, we would be together.

Before DH, I spent part of NYE away from my BF then we got together at 1130 to ring in the NY together. It was actually a lot of fun.

luvbug00 replied: well Brad and i never were together on new years ( that's 7 years of missed new years) and so I'm used to it. But with Lars there is no one i would rather be with.
