So my boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. We bought a house together 18 months ago. We decided that we wanted to spend this christmas together in our home rather than split up and go to our respective families. My parents are being incredibly cool about it (I thought they would be annoyed). His mother isn't so happy (her exact words were 'I thought cats could look after themselves'. She thinks we're staying for Harry; partly true but she doesn't need to know that
) but she's okay about it.
However 2 of my closest friends were extremely critical! They reckon until we're married we should be going to our own parents and they also made me feel really guilty saying my parents are going to be lonely (my brother ans sister will be at home so not an issue). I was really surprised by their reaction and the reaction of other random people in my circle of friends.
Is it totally none of their business or should I feel bad about this?
