Should I greet my ex?

of course, you should greet your ex, as a part of being educated person. Anyway past is past you should forget them. And start a new beginning. Greeting that person means you have already moved on with that part. It means no more feelings for that person nor bitterness. Unless you are still bitter.

No matter what, the both of you were in love before. Well, you should greet your ex for the sake of friendship. If you don't do so, your ex may think that you're a petty person, just because of a breakup you completely ignored him/her.

For the sake of friendship I think you must greet him because I would have done it too in your place infact I have already done so for the last years, I believe though being an ex now I still should share some friendship with him for the happy moments we have shared altogether.

Hello ex is ex, so if there is no plan to reunite, why should you greet? More over you say you are also no more friends, better not to ignite the fire again.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

Hi! I think you should greet her,not just for old times sake, but to show her that whatever it was that she had done,you're still doing good. It's like showing her that you've moved on and you're fine with out her and your friendship with each other.

OK look. You are obviously a sweet, classy woman. If you were not you would not be contemplating on how to: "Tell your ex-boyfriend/jerk/acquaintance/I might one day call when I am drunk(might not apply) Happy F-ing B-day. First of all, He is a big boy. Enough to be a selfish grown man from what I can feel from what you said. Get him out of your life. You don't have to be mean, outlandish, or trashy by simply not acknowledging him on his vast achievement of yet another year of manly triumph. He will be fine. He has been thinking about what he is going to have for dinner more than what you are contemplating right now. If I were you I would go out with your friends that day and say it is your birthday. Go get some fake eyelashes and paint the town. The only reason people look weak, desperate, impolite, ungrateful, or disrespectful is when they don't recognize what they know they should do in the first place. -You sound like a smart girl do what you know you should have done before you read this The one thing that won't get you into trouble, or be inappropriate for: Nothing. Leave the little idiot alone. I might be wrong, but he sounds like a short one to me. Not in a gross way he might have the little man syndrome. 5'4? I might be wrong; but in any case I hope you go one with your life, and let him have his own fun. He isn't worth being praised. Just don't do it. Happy Birthday. You deserve a party more than he does.

Hi CMTS, No you should not greet him if it isn't what is in your heart and obviously it isn't. You should never be fake to someone just because people say that you should.

Well you should have tried to have a friendly breakup. Of course I do not know the reasons behind the breakup, and thus maybe it was impossible. However, as a general rule, never do something that you really don't believe in. Don't be a hypocrite or a liar. So... If you really don't want to send you ex a greeting, then don't. It's better for you to be real, than to fake it and lie that you care when you don't. The only way you should send greetings, is if you really mean it.

It depends on you. If you want to keep in touch with her you should wish her. If you don't want to keep in touch with her any more what is the meaning of wish. So think deeply and decide

there's no need for you, to greet your ex. Anyway, she/he was your past and it doesn't matter if he/she celebrating his/her birthday. Unless, you still feel that you love him/her still.

Well it depends on the relationship you share with your ex. If you guys are not frds anymore then u r under no obligation to wish beacause it will become a kind of hypocrisy nah. if that person didnt want to remain friends then the choice was made, If you wish him/her, that person will think that you are still thinking of him/her.

You could greet her. It doesn't matter if you're friends or not. My EX broke up with me. 3 months after, it was his birthday. Even though the pain was still there, and I don't know if we're friends or not, I still gave a shot to greet. And I didn't expect that he would reply. So why don't you try it too? It doesn't mean your want to win her back.Just show her that you're still thoughtful, and don't ever expect something in return.

sure thing go ahead and greet them then any hold or power they have/had over your feelings will soon start to evaporate into the past. holding a grudge only hurts you. whilst you are still feeling raw from the past they are getting on with their life so greet them and move on with the new life you deserve.good luck!

If you are not in speaking terms then why the hell bother. I don't think there's a need for you to greet your ex. Since you mentioned that "she blew the chance of building a friendly relationship after the break up." Anyway you are not celebrating it with her. Unless you want her back, then you can greet her on her special day. You can greet me instead... I will be celebrating my birthday in a few minutes though. Happy Birthday to me!

Since you are not friends anymore, why should you?

CMTS_87, Just what is wrong with the other party that you have to treat her like some plague or a lifetime enemy? Your attitude towards life synonymously reflects your situation in love - your fear of 'risk or lost' is masked by fortifying yourself in this ivory tower of intellectual retreat, analyzing from an apex, which you feel safe from the noisy rumbles of reality world below your view. You comfort yourself with the thinking that you 'have the whole picture' but the truth is that your 'full picture' is the real distortion of the 'real picture'. For once, learn to ride the donkey while you seek for the horse.

Sure go ahead greet her

The fact that you're not friends with him, i see no reason why you should wish him a happy birthday. As you mentioned, he blew any chance he may have had for a friendly relationship, so why should you bother having any more contact with him. Still it's up to you, but as for me, i wouldn't bother.

If you believe that you're not friends anymore after the break-up then you may not greet him/her. Just don't think too much on what your friends have told you, do what makes you happy and comfortable. Be happy always..No worries..

Ask yourself.. are you ready to build a friendly relationship with her again? If not... then don't greet her. If you are... then greeting her is a good start...
