If you split on good terms, yea it's fine to wish a happy father's day.
Personally I've never had a bad breakup and always remained friends. A cordial breakup is a heck of a lot better than the breakups where they end up hating each others' guts.
Just curious. Reading a little between the lines, was this a clean break? Or is there a part of you that would like to get back with him?

If it were me, I would not be in contact with an ex. No point. I mean, at some point, you will met someone else. I bet you next bf will not like you still talking to your ex. I wouldn't. So once you are with someone else you shouldn't be still talking with an ex anyway. Might as well make it easy, and cut them out now.
If it was not a long time ( as in several years) and you are not close (like bff close) then I would think it odd if I was him.
def. wish him happy fathers day it will be sweet and let him know you think he's doing a great job as a dad.
Yeah but don't get your hopes up that something will come from that one text

Happy Father's Day! It's a day to celebrate the fathers in our lives and to let them know how much we appreciate them. For some of us, that means our own fathers. But for others, it might be a father figure, or someone who is like a father to us. Either way, it's a day to show our dads how much we care about them.
If you're wondering whether it's appropriate to send a text wishing a Happy Father's Day to someone you used to date, the answer is maybe. It depends on the relationship you have with this person and how comfortable you are with them. If you're on good terms and you text each other occasionally, then it's probably fine. But if you're not sure, it's probably better to err on the side of caution and not say anything.
The bottom line is, if you want to wish someone a Happy Father's Day, go for it! It's a nice gesture that will let them know you're thinking of them.

I don't understand this texting culture at all. A phone call would be way more meaningful to wish someone a "Happy Father's Day".
For birthdays, for example, people sending me a text does nothing for me. Getting a phone call means more to me, in the least. The best thing is when someone actually comes over and sees me in person.
Never hurts to say something sincere and kind to anyone. I have wished my friend happy mother's day, told her she is a wonderful mother but we have never had a relationship at all. Don't have to be related to notice when someone is doing a good job :)
Sounds like him and you didn’t have a good discussion on how to proceed. It’s not easy to have that discussion in a heart break moment. But it’s something you learn to do with experienced.
However I’ve never had a clean respectful break up. Never. So maybe I’m not the best person to ask.
It's more than OK, it is actually a very human thing to do. Regardless of why you split or how long since. If you split on bad terms doing something like this can maybe help rid some of the toxicity and maybe you can be friends.
It's okay to stay in touch but unless you and he had kids ( not likely in 3 months), it's not appropriate to wish Happy Fathers Day.
If the break up had nothing to do with being toxic, it's not really a beak up.
not ok, anything other than birthday is just a excuse to talk
Seems fine to me.
Nope
