Depends on how and why we broke up. If he was nasty then I wouldn't give him the attention. But if we just decided we were better as friends than as a couple I'd have no reason not to wish him a happy birthday.
I still do business, and meet a lot of my ex's. Just because things move on in life, doesn't mean they become a different species. You need to grow up.
Obviously, bad blood and cheating is a different thing.
Not really. I'm still friends with a number of exes but I don't really greet them or anything special on their birthday. though to be fair I rarely say anything to anyone on their birthday. I never remember when it is.
It depends on the ex. Some I want nothing to do with; they are in my past. Others have stayed on as friends and I am likely to send them some kind of birthday wish, just as I would any other friend.
If I had an ex I would not, but if I happened to run into them on their birthday I would say something not just ignore them but I'm not going to go out of my way unless we somehow remained friends.
Depends on the ex and why/how we broke up. I have an ex whose family and entire social circle I still speak with on really good terms, especially holidays and birthdays.
On the other hand, I have another ex who’s blocked and basically persona non grata in my life bc he was just a toxic bum to me and I can’t have that in my life.
No and even if we had a kid, I still wouldn't but I would let kid know it's her bday and h Have them draw something for her (wouldn't want to spend money to get gift for kid to give her)
No, I tend to stay as far away from exes as possible. They are an ex for a reason and rather than confusing the emotions associated I don't interact at all if possible.
Nope! They are an ex for a reason. Unless it was an amicable split and you still need to be in contact (e. g children) then there is no reason to go back to an ex.
It depends. If I don’t really speak to them all that much/ we aren’t close anymore, I don’t. If I’m friends with them or regularly speak with them I do
If I had an ex I wouldn't even acknowledge them much less remember their birthday. If they were an ex they would be deleted from every aspect of my life including my brain
Not typically. They’re exes. I don’t want to make them think I want them back. There is one ex I say happy birthday to but we both know and understand we’re just friends.

yeah, I do
I don't keep a grudge, and we share a lot of great memories, so some small, decent gestures are needed to keep them this way
I send the text, sometimes we talk by phone

although I am friends with two of my exes... we don't usually do this, lol
we don't really keep count of birthdays, lol
maybe this is why we're all best friends... we just don't care that much about birthdays, lmao
Yes. Definitely. I wish everyone of them every year.
Every one?
All my Exes!

I do. I don’t cut off my exes. There are exes that I still keep in touch with and I have gone back to sleep with my exes.

All my exes live in Texas, and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. LOL
I would never greet an ex on their birthday. one ex shoved a valentines day present back in my face.
Rude!!!

No. For one thing, I haven't spoken to them in many years. And for another, ultimately, it simply wouldn't be right.

No. I honestly don't wish their birthday to be happy.
Lmaooooooo I love you
