We were in a relationship for just over 3 years. Never moved in together.
I started off liking his family but gradually started to hate them. I found them to be controlling, judgmental and disapproving of anyone who lives and thinks differently to what they consider normal.
I really tried to make it work. Nodded and went along with things at first. Then I started speaking out a bit and politely (I think) stood my ground on differing views.
It all went completely pear shaped though when I (again, I think) politely turned down an invitation to a family event as I was booked to go away on a business trip that weekend. The proverbial hit the fan and histrionics ensued.
Fed up of the drama, I pulled further and further away until I was practically NC with them.
Meanwhile it was, unsurprisingly, affecting the relationship and eventually it broke.
It's been about a fortnight now since we broke up. And I've just received an email from ex's father complaining that I hadn't been in touch, that I should have the decency to at least talk to them about the end of the relationship.
AIBU to ignore the email?
