Break ups and family -

Situation: There has been a break up btwn me and my boyfriend. My sisters and my boyfriend still want to cling onto their "friendship."
History: We were together for year and a half. During this time my ex bonded with my sisters and they look up to him as a big brother. When we were dating, my sisters introduced their friends to his friends and they all became this huge weekend heng out crew (this bonding happened when i was away at home for 5 months).
Currently: Now that we have broken up, my sisters and my ex keep saying that the bond that was created cannot be let go since they have all become too tight. I have tried to explain to them it feels very uncomfortable that my sisters have to leave the house and go and heng out with my ex. Why?? The break up needs time to heal and figure out where things are. I'm i going to keep him as a friend or not and all that crap that u decide once u break up.So now, they all think i am being mean to them coz of telling them i expect that distance btwn them. My ex kabisa doesnt see why. I hv tried explaining it and to him its like, "what the hell. You want everyone to mourn with u bcoz of the break up?" According to my sisters..."we have created such a tight bond with those guys that we cant just tell them let's not heng out together. Its unavoidable."
I'm i being fair asking for this space/ distance or shld i let them be?
PS....my boyfie is 5 years my senior and 7-9 years my sisters' senior. My sisters are younger and still in college.
