How would you feel if your boyfriend/girlfriend didn't wish you a Happy New Years?

Question

The question says it all. Would you feel offended at all, or not really care? My boyfriend has been acting aloof for the past two days and I don't know if he'll wish me a happy new year's... :/

For starters, you would probably be pretty hurt. You might think that they don't care about you or that they are taking you for granted. If this is a one-time thing, you might be able to forgive them, but if it happens year after year, you might want to rethink the relationship.

Another possibility is that they simply forgot. In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to forget things like New Year's Eve. If this is the case, you can probably forgive them and move on.

However, if they deliberately did not wish you a Happy New Year, that's a different story. This could be a sign that they are not interested in celebrating the holiday with you or that they are not interested in celebrating the holiday at all. This is something you would need to talk to them about to see where they stand.

So, how would you feel if your boyfriend or girlfriend did not wish you a Happy New Year? Hurt, disappointed, and confused are all possible reactions. If it's a one-time thing, you can probably forgive them, but if it's a recurring issue, you might want to have a talk about it.

I would be kind of disappointed, but I'm pretty sure my boyfriend won't wish me a Happy New Year tonight either. My boyfriend has been aloof for the last few weeks as well, sometimes it happens.

I wouldn't stress over it too much. Usually people are just genuinely too busy to really take notice, stuff happens and they for whatever reason forget to text. He probably still loves you, just had something come up or was with his family or something.

I'm spending New Years alone, not by choice it just happened to end up that way. My boyfriend went with his family, and I tried to make plans with friends, but that didn't work out either. It's not a big deal. New years can be fun by yourself or just with friends or even family. And if he doesn't wish you a Happy New Year, don't fret. Maybe he will admit he forgot and wish you one tomorrow :)

If not, Happy New Year from Canada :D !

I would feel upset for sure. It hurts when the closest person to your heart doesn't remember something like that whereas friends and acquittance seem to remember. I wouldn't fight over it though. I would just send him a text joking about it and see what he says. If he jokes back saying "Oh! I totally forgot! Happy New Year babe" then it's fine. People forget, it's fine. If he replied in a lame way, then I won't fight but I would distance myself from him for a bit until he comes around and indulge me. :)

PezzaltyBob · Accepted Answer

At first I probably wouldn't be happy about it. But it's just probably not as big a deal to him as it is to others. Did he ever tell you?

I fell asleep in bed well before midnight and slept straight through to morning because I was so exhausted.  I woke up this morning and my girlfriend had texted me happy new years.  I just texted it back to her now.

I personally wouldn't care. I myself hold no value to the whole Happy New Year thing. Atleast not the act of saying it.

oldawg · Answer

It depends what kind of relationship you have. If it was a serious one I wonder what was wrong. You have to understand guys don't think like girls they don't have the same feelings in most cases. Being a guy I would just shrug it off but not knowing your relationship with your boyfriend it's all right to feel hurt or upset maybe just pay attention the next few days and try and figure out what is bugging him if anything. Does he realize that you're upset over this? Or just doesn't care. I wish you luck but don't let it eat at you take care.

Meisha21 · Answer

I personally would be upset.  I know to many people New Years isn't really A big day, however, I think that if you are dating someone , it's one of those days that you show you care...and it's out of respect that you wish the person you are with a happy New Year.

TechnoGarsby · Answer

Like they were an ex because that's exactly who they would be to me, just indecent behavior anyone who treats their partner like that does not deserve them.

WeaponZero · Answer

I would think that they probably didn't make a big deal about new years which I can understand.

Chaaz · Answer

Aloof yes. But I generally don't wish anyone happy new years unless it's for political reasons lol.   NEW years DO NOT MATTER people.

hakuna_matata · Answer

well... I will feel bad of course... but if to have fought over something then maybe he won't. why don't you call him and wish him

Blueeyes81 · Answer

It sounds like you are creating a problem that doesn't exist. Getting upset about hypothetical situations is a huge red flag in my book. No one needs more drama in their lives but yet some people have to create it for some reason. 🤷

Blackcupcake · Answer

it would be weird… but I think I would wish him a happy New Years first, and I’d question it if he just ignored it lol

Anonymous · Answer

Mine was supposed to spend New Years with me and didn’t. I didn’t even get a text from him, he just ditched me. My opinion is a little bias since I’m clearly pissed. Sorry for that.

The guy I'm seeing hasn't wished me happy new years yet and I'm kind of disappointed because I wanted him to do it at midnight :( (It's 2:40am here)

Moloch · Answer

I wouldn't care, they're probably spending time with family.

Anonymous · Answer

It won't be the end of the world, I mean I'd find it sort of odd if he doesn't kiss you but..it's not necessary to say that

WhitneySnow · Answer

I’d be a little offended. What calendar has New Years coming up in two days?

Unit1 · Answer

Quite suspicious to be honest. a few weeks later she then ghosted on me. i  hate  her!

SamirahD22 · Answer

He doesn't want you. Take a hint and move on. I dont understand people like you. Someone shows you they aren't interested but you stay latching on then mad when they leave you

Phoenix98 · Answer

To be honest I wouldn’t care I find New Years to be a bs holiday anyway.

kostadinkz · Answer

I wouldn't care at all If someone wished me a happy birthday l would appreciate it But if they didn't it's probably because they don't care about me... But somehow l can't bare to ignore some people

Happy New Year's to you and your boyfriend I hope this year brings more joy and laughter for you both.

That would feel kind of shitty. I'd ask her why she's acting aloof directly.

My boyfriend ignored my happy New Years message and posted after I sent it. I don't know if I should point this out to him or should I not be annoyed?

Wouldn't bother me, people can get busy with family/friends or have to work and forget.
