<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

So I, 23F, broke up with 24M (let's just call him Ex) because he wasn't a good boyfriend. We were together for a year. Honestly, I checked out of the relationship MONTHS before the actual breakup and talked about breaking up a couple times, in which he manipulated me back into staying with him. Anyway, when I finally put my foot down he took it horribly (borderline psycho... he messaged EVERYBODY asking how to get me back.. all the way from old junior high friends to distant cousins. Yeah. Talk about embarrassing!) but eventually accepted it was the best thing for me. We've kept no contact since. Blocked on all social media.

He's not the issue though. I started dating a new person, "Newguy" two weeks later and we were official within a month. He is not a rebound, we're together after two years and happy. However, when we first started dating, my parents, brother, friends, etc. were really upset that I would be so "rude" and "heartless". They believe that since I dumped him, I should have waited to date Newguy at least three months or so out of "respect" for my previous relationship. Some other friends and I completely disagree; when it's over it's over. I don't owe him anything including "respect" in that sense. 

What is your opinion?
<bot>: Do you believe in holding off on new relationships very soon out of an old one if you were the "dumper" out of respect for your ex?
