AITA if i do not help with a house move because i had flight tickets booked months prior to knowing we were moving?

Title. Living in UK, mouldy flat. Partner (F) and I (M) (together for 4 years) been trying to find a new place to move too but to no avail. i Was scheduled to return home for a month holiday and family visit - 16 hours away costing over 1k £ for price ticket. So i booked my tickets assuming things were going to be status quo. A few weeks before my flight, i found a beautiful place on openrent and went for a viewing, managed to secure the place. Only issue was that the move in date was clashing with my trip - somewhere within the month i was away. Word got out that my partner was doing the move without me, and i was going on holiday during the move. I packed all my stuff neatly in boxes so that it would make the move much easier. Seemed like people were judging and calling me a shitty partner, and even saying its a huge red flag / would break up if they were in this situation. I feel horrible after finding out about this recently. I cannot seem to fathom how a house move like this could warrant a breakup - especially since i already planned my trip way in advance and this was unprecedented. Am i truly an asshole for doing this? Please note i was willing to pay for the movers and van to help with the move - and the move was literally less than a kilometre from our current home if that mattered.
