    " I hope you have a lovely day and that all your dreams come true. I swear to God it wasn't me that put those prawn shells in the seams of your curtains last birthday. Oh my goodness they must have really stunk the house down. At least you and your woman, the one you replaced me with finally tracked down that hideous smell after living with the stench for a month." ....'Blondepoet secretly smiles to herself'

    It seems to me that you still love your ex or you wouldn't even bother remembering that it's his birthday much less think of a perfect birthday message. Just greet him a happy birthday and wish him well.

    Listen, you don't have to want your ex boyfriend back just to be polite. This was someone that was an integral part of your life at one time - you don't have to discount him just because you have moved on. There is nothing wrong with you sending him a birthday message.

    As for the perfect message, just say what comes to mind. It seems to work best.

    I would just send a nice general card saying something simple like "wishing you a very happy birthday and all the best wishes for the future."

    Its nice not to burn bridges between exes, staying friends is rare but is really better in the long run. Bitterness is so overrated and exhausting.

    Shanaaya.....Oh dear, honey, is it OK if I give some sincere "Motherly" advice?  The relationship has been over a year....and you've only exchanged "Hellos," since then?  Wanting to send him a BD card tells me you are using his BD as an excuse to make contact ...beyond your courteous greetings to one another...which, in turn, tells me you are simply not "over him"  and secretly hoping you can sneak into his mind via a "card".....just in case he's not over you...
    Shanaaya, BIG mistake.  IF he is involved with someone else now, he will either throw your card away or worse, use it to make her jealous....neither of which is your intention, I'm sure.  Because I don't know anything about your relationship with him when you were together, nor why it ended.......it's a little difficult to be more detailed than saying,,,,.it was, it isn't any more, he hasn't shown an interest in re-kindling in the past year........get all thoughts of him out of your head....so that one day, you can get him out of your heart.  Focus on healing YOU.  Sending a card may seem like a simple harmless thing.  It is not.  You will be expecting "something," and when that doesn't happen....you've just gone backwards.  Good luck.

    I have been to this situation so I have the full right to say this. Don't ever attempt to talk to him unless you had good dealings when you broke up.

    Guys are rude and will take your greetings as if you still like him. So keep it.

    But if you had good dealings before this is my message:

    Hi, hello! It's been  a while and I (state your present heart feelings this time) ....

    (greet as a friend)

    A simple "Happy Birthday" is sufficient. Any elaborate greeting can lead to a lot of awkward questions to your ex-boyfriend from his PRESENT girlfriend.

    Don't over-think it. Just say "Happy Birthday" and get on with your life...

    Hello shanaaya
    A broken relationsh is none existent relationship. Sending to him any kind of attention may deepen your ' hurt ' keeping  you stagnate , while there is a wondeful perspective. One single  act of ' forget it all' will set you free , since only when one leaves past behind can enthusiastically move one, enriched by another experience and definitely wiser.

    Only one word is needed to answer this question, but HP doesn't allow it: Silence.
    You are describing him as ex-boyfriend.  He is either a friend or not.  Think of how many people exist in this world that you have not wished a happy birthday to who are good and since you don't know them you don't say anything.  If he is your ex you don't really know each other.  Be at peace.
    Unless... what you really want is to get back together.  In which case you need to do a lot of soul-searching as to what/who you want in life.

    If there is some kind of desire to be back with him, I say be honest. Wish him a happy birthday. Give him your well wishes, but also let him know how you feel, how he made you feel before. Two things can happen; he realizes what he lost and you both rekindle something that could be great or he is honest with you and let's you down easy. In that circumstance, you may deepen your hurt, but it's temporary and can be therapeutic. After all, holding it in now is never going to stop your deep down pain, only let it fester. Getting it out gives you the opportunity to move passed it and grow.

    If you break up with your ex  boyfriend was owing to social reasons, the message should be like this  - Many many happy returns of the Day. Wishing you a happy and prosperous life in the years to come. Missing a loving friend.

    If it was broken  because of other reasons like cheating, etc., - it should be on this line what I feel – Happy Birthday to you – with an advice not to breach the trust of those who sincerely and emotionally liked you a friend, if you really want to maintain your inner peace.

    I would recommend not wishing him happy birthday at all as what would be the point? Did he wish you happy birthday? When a relationship is dead and gone then it should be left as such or it will end up bringing more heartache than good.

    Everything was over. Sending him a birthday message would be a big NO. Your step of sending him a birthday message would be interpreted as "chasing after your ex". Someone deserves your greeting not your ex.

    samanthamjordanposted 9 years ago

    Honestly, I would not say or do anything at all. You have been broken up for a year, and despite all the history you may or may not have had between you two, it is not healthy to dwell on a previous relationship, but rather learn from the experience and move on. It is a new chapter in your life and making an effort on someone who has already moved on only makes you look desperate and sad.

    It really depends on his personality, how the relationship ended, and how well and how long you knew each other.

    However, people who are not in one another's 'circle' of friends or family don't usually send or say anything on a birthday.

    Although, if you are still following one another on facebook (or some such social network) you will likely get the message that it is their birthday, and then it is ok to wish them a happy B-day on that social network.

    Hope that helps.
