Today is my birthday and my ex texted me this afternoon. He texted me a week ago wishing me good luck on a test I was taking and I responded with "thank you" and got no reply. I feel like I should thank him again for texting me for my birthday but I don't want him to keep thinking that he can always get a response out of me.

 

He left me three months ago after three years together because he had feelings for another girl. As it turns out, he's been trying to get this girl to open up to him and date him but she keeps turning him down.

 

I miss him a lot and I'd like to think that somewhere down the line the two of us could have another chance especially since the new girl doesn't seem to like him very much.

 

Should I respond to him?

 

I hate that even on my birthday this situation is making me sad. :(

No, don't respond. It's your birthday! Do things with people who make you happy! Be at peace.

Happy b-day!

No. Stop responding to his texts, unless you like the pain/heartache. Oh, so he left you for another chick, and now you'd take him back because things did not work out for him? Too bad for him, he made his choice when leaving you, didn't he?

 

I love my ex so much, but if he left me for another woman and I knew that, and then came back to me when things didn't work out for him, I would not even give him the courtesy of a response.

 

And anyway, you won't get him to change his mind and want to come back to you by responding to his texts. If he's interested in that, he can pick up the phone and call.

Nah I wouldn't bother replying considering his situation. Sounds like simple breadcrumbs.

 

Happy birthday :)

I believe some people are vampires. I know, you're laughing.. that's what my sister used to tell me, and she was right. By vampire she meant some people will suck the energy out of you. Why waste your energy on something like that? Surely answering him won't help you out, it will probably leave you a little bit drained when you're back to square one.

 

Of course it's just an analogy, but I do believe in it. So.. don't let this vampire suck you out, save yourself for something more productive.

 

PS: happy birthday :)
