Kamille Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Maybe this is just an excuse to start a b-day thread . Perhaps not. It's well past noon where I am and I am wondering if my ex will write to wish me a happy birthday. The clincher? His birthday is tomorow. I think no matter what, I will write to wish him a happy birthday. I hope he does, maybe just because it's still important to me to feel like I mean something to him, even now. I don't know how I will feel if he doesn't.
Nevermind Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Oh! Happy Birthday, Kamille!! Here is a poem by Byron for you (as a substitute for a card ) She walks in Beauty SHE walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that 's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress,[ Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent! I wish you the best, love and happiness. You deserve it! (I don't know if he will write to you, maybe he will, maybe he won't. But I wouldn't take it as a sign in either direction. If he doesn't write it might be because it's too soon after the break-up. Do not take it to your heart if he doesn't.)
LikeCharlotte Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy Birthday Kamille! Just enjoy it. Worry about his birthday tomorrow.
Trialbyfire Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy Bday Kamille! Okay, I have to say it. Don't send him a bday greeting, especially if he doesn't send you one today. Avoid contact, if at all possible.
HeartOnSleeve Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy Birthday! I am going to be facing this in a month and am already thinking about it! I say send him a message even if he doesn't send you one. I feel like if he doesn't send you a message it doesn't mean that you aren't important to him, I think it's a guy thing. They don't pay attention to the little details that us women do. But if it's going to cause any set backs in your ability to recover from the relationship then I say don't do it and if you do, don't expect a response or thank you. Enjoy YOUR day!
Author Kamille Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I love Byron he is one of my favorite poets, thank you so much Nevermind. Still no news from him. We exchanged a few e-mails last week which have left me feeling serene about things. Basically, we both agreed that what we had was meaningful for both of us, but we both agreed that it was better for us to be over. I think I will write to him tomorow, no matter what, because I want to. To top it all off, there was an amazing coincidence today printed in the newspaper, and I want to send it to him. (involves an event we attended, our horoscope and a cartoon where the whole cartoon is his name, repeated over and over and over again, all on the same page... ... ...).
Nemo Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Don't send him a bday greeting, A solid beginning. I agree wholeheartedly. You are my hero of the day, but then, all of a sudden, just before the final buzzer... especially if he doesn't send you one today.That's just mean! "Especially"?? I guess you were absent the day they taught selfless. Or do you mean that you would reciprocate, but you won't really mean it?! That's kind of worse. Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday to whomever. And I'll add the usual crap about hoping you have a great day, etc.
curiousnycgirl Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy Birthday Kamille! You are my hero today and every day - because you had the courage to do what I still can't figure out! I only hope he calls because you hope he does - but to tell the truth I wouldn't hold my breath. Regardless enjoy the day, the week and the month! They are all yours.
justaman99 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy Birthday. I just went through this about a month ago. I didn't wish her a happy birthday because I wasn't ready yet to show her I was thinking about her. It was hard for me to do this but it is what I needed to do for myself. My intention wasn't to make her feel bad but after all she broke up with me. She really shouldn't expect the recognition from my anymore, at least not so soon after splitting. It made me realize I was better now, I was stronger and that I was ok.
shadowplay Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy Birthday!!! (((((hugs)))) :bunny: Whether he writes or not, don't let it ruin your special day.
wareagle Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy Birthday Kamille! Mine is June 14th and I hope she doesn't send me anything!
motive2002 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Happy birthday, sweetheart! Enjoy your day, and if you don't hear from the ex, all the better!
Author Kamille Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Thank you all again. And guess what? He called. He left a message where he was singing me a happy birthday. It felt really great to hear his voice. I just got the message. I'm back from dinner with friends and family followed by an evening out for some live blues music. A great birthday indeed!
Ariadne Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Thank you all again. And guess what? He called. He left a message where he was singing me a happy birthday. It felt really great to hear his voice.

ioncebelieved Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I wonder if she'll even notice. Stupid ****ing bitch. I bet my entire savings... SHE WILL NOT CARE!!!!
sid3 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 ur right Y, she will notice. I'd bet she is expecting you to use it as a reason to contact her.
marlena Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 A belated Happy Birthday Kamille! I somehow knew that he would call. After all, you did not part as enemies and that is a good thing. I am also glad that you had a nice birthday celebration.
Star Gazer Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I'm sorry I missed your birthday, K! Happy belated!!
