Guys, Why would you text your ex happy birthday?

[Anonymous]

my ex texted me today saying “Hey, just wanted to say happy birthday😄 hope you have a great day!🎁🎉🎊🎉🎁“ I said thank you and of course it went back to no contact. (I was hoping a conversation would come out of it)

I haven’t spoken to him in three months and I was shocked to see that he’d even make an attempt since he cut ties because he wanted to lose feelings. Why would you text your ex happy birthday?

He cares for you. When you end a relationship in good terms you always wish your ex the best, and why not text a happy birth day if you haven't begging a new relationship?

I've come to understand that what meant to be is gonna be, which doesn't mean you shouldn't move a finger for what you want, it just means for example that if after trying your best to be with your ex, nothing happens, move on, there are tons of people on the planet and is a waste to deposit all your faith and happiness in one single person. It just doesn't worth it.

very well put! You're absolutely right when saying it will be if its truly meant to be! Thank you for your response!

[DiegoO]

You're welcome ;)

Possibly, though no longer in love, he still cares about as a friend or person. Or maybe something in his mind is rekindling. If you still have serious feelings for him, you might text on his birthday or major holiday, and see where it does or doesn't go.

Why wouldn't you text your ex happy birthday? Hell, people send happy birthday messages to people they barely know on Facebook, what's so wrong with sending one to someone who you were very close with and loved?

He simply still cares about you and understandably so. It doesn't mean he wants to get back together or even wants a conversation. He's just letting you know that he still cares about you on your special day.

I do that to some of them. I know we had a rough time before but we were younger and stupid back then. But sometimes I need to be nice to people (even I'm not like it personally). But it doesn't necessarily I want them back especially most of them have kids or with some boyfriend. I dont know, probably the reason I message them because of the good times we shared when we were dating. Since we were passionate once, I never forget their birthdays.

I wouldn't but she did text me on her birthday (I don't know why) I just said happy birthday and thats it.

[Asker]

that's weird that she reached out to you on your birthday!

[Anonymous]

because looking at your picture you're kinda hot and it makes sense why he still want to stay in contact

[Asker]

lmfao thank you!

I have never done that, not will I ever will. People needed to learn to move on just of the time; saves you a lot if drama and heartache.

I wished my ex happy birthday because I still cared and care.

[Asker]

Cared in what sense, if you don't mind me asking?

[whysowild]

I cared enough to wish she was having a good birthday and to give her the time out of my day to put myself out there. I cared for her in every sense because I still liked her

[Asker]

If you still like her what's preventing you for pursuing anything?

[whysowild]

Haha she's told me not to when I tried before to get it back together. She says I need to change some

[whysowild]

Sent you my questions invite haha

[Caaarl]

I think it's fine as long as it didn't end terribly and you're just wishing them a happy birthday not trying to get back with them.

[MecheD]

If he broke up with you, he either wanted to be mean but more then likely he still cares about you.

[WhistleForTheChoir]

I find an excuse to text the last girl I dated (not my ex, but I don't really have one) every few months. I worry about her.

[bobbywiz79]

I don't have all of the facts, but my gut says he wants to keep you just close enough for a booty call sometime down the line.
