AIBU to still take the booked break after my sister's split?

My sister was supposed to get married later this year but unfortunately the relationship has ended. She us absolutely heartbroken as you can imagine.

The wedding was due to take place in a hotel with some staying for the weekend etc. Due to the fact we have 3dc and one is considered seriously disabled. We with my sisters agreement booked a nice holiday let as staying in a hotel would've been a disaster.

It's already paid for in a nice location and we still planned on going down for a mini hoilday as leave etc already sorted.

My sister went mental and has now blocked me on everything.

I mean I can see why it would be painful for her and a bit awkward.

You are absolutely in the right to continue with your holiday plans. She was happy for you to put yourself out of pocket to facilitate her plans, she can’t dictate that you cancel them now.

It’s difficult to know from your post whether she is overreacting massively or whether you haven’t handled it very sensitively (or somewhere in between).

I don’t think you’re unreasonable for going, but I don’t know why you told her- that’s pretty insensitive and she didn’t need to know.

I think your right. I shouldn't have mentioned anything. She normally is a very reasonable person but utterly heartbroken just now.

I can understand your reasoning, especially if you will lose money. Blocking you is extreme but I can see why she is hurt. That weekend will be really difficult for her and not only are you going away when she'll need support, you're rubbing salt in the wound by having a lovely fun weekend in the very place she should have been getting married. I'm not saying you shouldn't go but you could have been more sensitive to how it looks.
