Anyone else spending tonight alone?

[nattyalone]

As usual another year I'm on my own feeling down.
All my hopes of this year being better than the lost down the pan.
Tonight il be on my own with a takeaway,another reminder I'm on my own.
Anyone else?

Kinda. I’m babysitting my sister and brother in laws two puppies until about 10.30. My DP is 300 miles away in their hometown where they live (long distance) and to me it’s just another night.

I fully plan on finishing You on Netflix (if you haven’t seen it’s brilliant, watch it!) and the Taylor Swift Reputation Tour. Tomorrow is a New Year but I think these days most people don’t make a huge fuss of it, just commercialism as usual

Just me and my youngest tonight, just another night to me. Have the leftover Christmas chocolates to try and finish.

Years ago it felt so special
Now it's just flat to me too.

I'll be alone but to me it's just another night. I don't really care about NYE. I think the problem is all the build up (like Christmas) that then makes people who are already feeling lonely, feel a million times worse! I used to feel the same way as you so I do understand. I think what "cured" me was my last shitty relationship! The last NYE we spent together looked good to outsiders looking in. But the truth of it was he'd spent the full day treating me like shit. Then I had to spend the evening worrying that the amount he was drinking would make him kick off again! He didn't, but I couldn't relax and enjoy myself. Sadly there's probably a fair few women who will go through similar tonight! Of course some people will have a great night, but a lot of people won't. A lot will be feeling just like you or they'll be sad for other reasons. I suppose what I'm saying is, you feel alone in this but you're not. And one night at the start of the year is not an indicator as to how the rest of the year will be. It is just another day on the calendar.

There's a thread on here for those on their own to join. Donations of food and booze seem welcome. So don't be lonely.

Me and the cat are watching nature programs.

With a cheese feast planned for supper.

I'm glad I'm alone though, I feel as festive as a salad.

Once the kids go to bed then yep. Doesn't bother me though really, I avoid the tv hysterics cos that might make me feel lonely

Planning on a nice evening doing what I enjoy with a cider then going to bed

I'm with DH and DM as well as my three children and I am going to bed at 10pm if it's any consolation!

Never cared about NYE

Another one with just her two cats.

Partner walked out three months ago, so Christmas was tough but just thinking of these like any other day.

Tomorrow (I'm hoping) will be a turning point for me, New Year and all that. Hopefully will be putting that twat behind me

Never really liked NY, always find it quite depressing.
I’d quite like to spend it in pyjamas on the sofa but no such luck.
Try not to think of NY’s as something special because it isn’t really, just another date ..

I'm alone this NYE too, though perfectly happy with that. I'm gonna eat rubbish and watch rubbish tv - won't even bother to see it tbh, not like it doesn't happen every year. Got work at 6am so I need an early night!

I will be from about 10 oclock.
I was going to spend all day on my own but an equally depressed friend has just asked if I wanted to go to the cinema so that will be good.
Part of me thought would rather not go and hope to be asleep before 10 and try to ignore everything.
Worst of it - the ex rang to tell me that he was going to a party with his new lady. He asked where I would be at midnight - said I would either be sobbing in the corner or hopefully fast asleep

Yes. Had to leave relatives early otherwise there was a danger of passing the point of no return

I will be in pjs and probably won't stay up-I usually don't bother. I might go a little bit mad and put the heating on for a bit, though

It's just another night, OP - hang on to that thought

Yep I will be on my own , no DH /DP most of my extended family have DCs so wont be partying either .
Plus I am in work tomorrow ,

I am having a great laugh catching up with some of the classics threads on here .

I wish I was! I'm longing for a quiet night in front of the telly with just my cuddly cat.

Yep dp working baby will be in bed, ds will no doubt be on x box and dsd will be asleep prob by 9pm.

My two teenage DDs are out tonight, and my miserable hubby will probably go to his room to watch tv/sleep from around 9:30/10:00 so that will be me on my own. I don’t mind much because I don’t much care for NYE parties anyway. I’ll probably watch some Netflix and finish up some leftover Christmas goodies before the diet restarts tomorrow. I’ll turn in early but will allow the dog and cat upstairs tonight because they’re terrified of fireworks and it will be like WWIII here at midnight.
