New year celebration with my parents without my partner F28 M30

Hi,

I'm facing an emotional dilemma from being childish I guess. So, there's New Year celebration right, and there's societal pressure that you have to be with your partner etc.

I'm spending every New Year with my parents and I'm absolutely fine with that, there's only 3 of us. Back in times also my prev local bf.

I have a partner from different country, culture, language, we communicate in English, my parents don't know English. I don't know his parents they are in his home country and they don't speak English as well.

Here comes the thing, I can't divide myself into two people on New year's Eve, I'm feeling sad for my partner that he'll be alone, but my parents don't want him during New year's Eve coz language barrier and he'll awkwardly sit, my mom's also afraid for my dad's reaction or negativity.

And I don't want to spend together with him as he lives in a nasty place, it's not fun, it's just not for me, I love the family atmosphere. ( He's not broke, he just doesn't care in what setting he lives when he's alone).

How do I solve this, so that my partner ends up not being hurt and we end up on the same page?

Ps. I live with my parents because I collect money for buying my own property/ or moving out once/if proposed. That's my stance. I'm paying for utilities and food.
