Do you have to celebrate New Year's Eve with your partner? Editor Anna has a clear opinion!
When I talked about how my boyfriend and I are celebrating New Year's Eve this year, I've always been asked the same question: "Is everything alright with you?"Well, I confess" guilty ": I do NOT spend the New Year with my friend! How unromanticI hear from all sides, and I seriously wonder if I do not recognize the romance on New Year's Eve.
Is not New Year's Eve the party most people get drunk on, firecrackers fired up at midnight (by the way a waste of money!) And then drowning? Where is this romantic? To create such an atmosphere, it takes togetherness - and no mass party. For example, one would have to drive to a mountain hut, cuddle up to one another and look into the colorful valley (yes, admittedly, beautiful fireworks do indeed ...).
But what do you do if the friend is more like a party and you want to spend a quiet New Year? Discuss for hours until you find a compromise? No, why? What is there to say: "We celebrate New Year's Eve separately and see each other in the new year!" After all, my friend and I live together - and I do not spend so much time with any other human being. When we are separated on New Year's Eve (spatially), no heart breaks, and certainly no relationship!
In the end, it's like this: If the New Year means a lot, you probably want to have your partner with you. That is understandable and completely logical. Anyone who loves New Year's Eve should be treated to a glittering party - with all the people who are close to his heart.
For me personally, December 31st is a day like any other - except that at midnight rockets fly to the sky, people are falling around their necks and wishing a happy new year. Tue I also, is also polite. And of course I send my sweetie a nice WhatsApp message or call him. Then I will tell him that I love him. And not only "Everything is OK with us"but everything is pretty great!
