AITA For not moving abroad to save my relationship

Long story short, was in a relationship with someone who had to leave for Europe to study there.

The relationship depended on me enrolling in a uni over there or eventually shifting there.

I didn’t want to and I humbly apologised and broke up, now I’ve been told that what I did was selfish

  1. NTA. Being selfish isn’t always a bad thing. If this was the best decision for you, it was right to break it off.

    Never selfish for choosing what’s best for you when deciding where to live. Especially when you’re young and especially when kids aren’t involved.

  3. No you are not the a hole if you uprooted your life for a man you’d regret it and you’d have no one to turn too if it went south 

  4. NTA. It is extremely selfish of them to expect you to uproot your life for them. You do not owe that to someone you are dating.

  5. NTA. You need to decide what is best for your life. Sure, it is selfish, but unless you are deeply in love and planning a life together (which doesn’t seem to be the case here), that is what you need to do.

  6. NTA. Unless you are married, or about to be, is it absolutely not selfish to not want to uproot your whole life. Sounds like you handled things perfectly, and the other person’s feelings are hurt and they are lashing out.

  7. NTA. You are not selfish for choosing to do the right thing for yourself. Your ex doesn’t own you, and you don’t owe your future to anyone except yourself.
