For those who are gonna spend the New Year's without their SOs

[squeeker]

Yeah... this will be my fourth year spending both Christmas and New Years apart from my SO (thus every Christmas/New Years since we've been together). I don't think that much of it because I can't change it. I wish that he could be here for the holidays because he would enjoy it a lot more than he does at home. One day, I guess...

Same here! In our 4 year relationship we have never spent a Christmas or New Years in the same place. The ticket prices are crazy, and it would mean getting a plane ticket to London and having a longer taxi ride (and more expensive) to see my boyfriend or would mean a layover which would make both of us (especially him) nervous and would take longer to see each other. Plus we are both pretty low on money from having to go to university now so we will be able to actually close the distance one day in a few years.

But we will get to spend Christmas and New Years talking to each other on video call like usual, so we will get to talk and share the day and ring in the new year together. Maybe even twice, because his new year is 4pm my time and my new year is 8am his time. :P Though we probably won't be able to talk to each other online for both of those times, we'll see what happens, but we will get to talk like normal which is nice. It will also be nice one day to be able to spend all holidays together in person.

We won't be together for Christmas or New Year together either. New Year doesn't bother me that much tbh, since I don't really see it as a big deal anyway. Frankly I'll probably spend it at mother's house on the sofa watching the LOTR marathon that's been on TV every NY Eve for the last billion years. Not sure what we'll do, since I think he'll be out. We'll probably text like usual or maybe a brief phone call at midnight (his or mine).

I do quite miss him for Christmas though, not least because the situation is a bit tense due to family drama.

Since this is our first New Year's together, we won't be getting to see each other (Flight tickets over the Atlantic are a bitch to deal with).
I'm making him a little gift for entering a new year together in love, but lately we've been fighting a lot, and he's going to spend Christmas Eve with his mum, Christmas Day with his dad. I hope we get some time together especially on New Year's Eve

My SO and I won't be spending Christmas or New Years together either.
We've been apart for over 2 months this time and not seeing him for Christmas makes it harder. I love Christmas and wish we could be together. Guess it will be a FaceTime Christmas for us <3

We won't be spending New Years together this year. Maybe we'll G+ Hangout or something. I am staying home and relaxing with my family. The next morning, I fly out to meet Kristin91 so I can't stay up all night.

I did not think it was going to bother me... today it just really hit me that we will not be together for the holidays.
Not happy at all.

This is our first Christmas / New Year as a couple ...we can't touch each other but that's ok.
Looking forward to FOUR whole days together in about three weeks!

In the same boat and its a sad ride :c

I feel your pain, my bf and I also are not getting to spend the holidays together this year. I'm pretty crushed about it because this time last year he was here with me. I just hate the lingering reminder.

I have yet to spend any holiday with my BF. We try to talk on the phone a lot on holidays so it feels like we are together. He asks me about cooking and tries to include me in decisions he makes and vice versa. I will be alone tonight...my kids are with their Dad and all my friends are busy with other plans. It's been a very lonely holiday season for me so I am hoping next year is WAY better!

I will not be spending NYE with a SO, mainly cause I don't have one. I will hunt down a midnight kiss though!

-- PrincessJOE -- thank you for making this thread.

I'm in the same situation.. We are spending 3rd New Year apart now, but during these 3 new years we've met "my new year" (which is 4 hours in the future for him) and "his new year" on the phone together and luckily, on the phone's skype today It was lovely, he was with me and with my family at midnight, than we watched fireworks from my balcony together which was also cool..

It feels so sad for me not to meet such cool days with my love in real..

wish every of us can meet next New Year with our ones!

[PrincessJOE]

And as you said... i wish everyone the chance to be with our SOs next time!
