I’ve just split up with my now ex DP of 18 months (on Xmas eve). There was nothing huge that caused the break up but neither of us were really happy and I didn't feel a physical connection for him. When we started talking about how the year had been and were honest with each other and ourselves, we admitted it’s been this way for over a year now and worse since we moved in together. We’re only in our mid twenties and thought being in a just-ok relationship wasn’t how we wanted to be forever.
I understand it came as a shock to my parents as there was no huge bust up and neither party was really at fault. However ever since we broke up, I feel that they’ve been massively overreacting and making me feel like I did the wrong thing. First I had ‘ruined Christmas’, then every time I cried (it’s still sad even though it’s for the best) my DM would cry too and then my DF would get angry that I upset her. The other night I overheard them saying they were disappointed as they liked him and thought they would be getting grand children soon! We went to my GP’s and they still were in the kitchen saying how upset they were when they thought I was out of earshot.
AIBU to think that this is my break up and not theirs?

To think that my break-up belongs to me!
