I just have my birthday and receive many wishes from friends and relatives but few presents (i am getting old) lol. The only thing that is still in my mind is that, my ex-girlfriend also sent me a birthday wish but i still can't decide to reply or just ignore the massage.
You might wonder what's so hard aight? as for me since we broke-up, i don't even get in touch with her like i don't care what ever about her anymore. Now i don't know what should i do... Reply or ignore??

Happy B-day =)
I would most definately just send her a text or something and saying thank you. I would do that since she had enough respect to send you a happy borthday wich is never easy to do after u have split up =)

My ex and I were suppose to send birthday wishes to eachother. Then hers got really lazy and kind of snooby. I hope you have a good birthday. Then the next year nothing. It's not surprising coming from her. If I was you I would just say thank you if it was a nice one. If it was an OK one, just ignore it.

I would have to say reply and still keep in contact with her because you do not want enemies. I know what you feel but sometimes it is good to communication after the broke up to see what went wrong. Maybe she wants to get back with you and works things out.

I think of it this way. If an old friend you hadn't talked to in years sent you a birthday greeting even though you hadn't seen or spoken to them in years would you reply? I myself say a birthday greeting doesn't need a response. It is just words. A gift would be something you would want to say thank you for but not just a note.

If they cause you pain then ignore them. They should take the hint. If you should happen to see her in public or something and she asks, simply reply "yes, got it" and don't even say thanks. You shouldn't have to put up with someone that causes you pain and hurt. If you don't want them in your life at all, then that's your right.

reply if you still want to talk to her, or just to say thank you! but if you really don't want to talk her anymore,just ignore it! and if you see her some day you can always say thank you to her!

This depends. Was it an amicable break up (more or less). If yes, and perhaps she is just being polite, like saying she has fond memories. If this is the case, send her a brief thank you note.
If the break up was a bit nasty, or even more so, it would be best to not respond at all.

Due to respect and appreciation, just say thank you for remebering you eventhough, you are already parted ways..
It doesnt mean if you replied her back, you will keep your communication line open. Dont think that way. besides, you have some good memories together im sure. So, just say thank you and just appreciate her of being thoughtful.

if you dont have any contact with her or very little i would be a little sus as to why she sent you a birthday message, i would be wondering does she want to start something or is she just being nice? i would suggest that you just ignore the message and take it as a nice birthday wish or just reply 'thanks' and is she reply's back do not reply to that msg, either way mate i dont think it will make a big difference, happy birthday tho!

Oh lol, I forgot to wish you a very happy b'day! Forgive me! Well, at least say thanks, that's a mature way to act. Ignoring or rejecting her is a childish way to solve that problem. At least she tried to be nice, didnt she? Saying "thank you" will cause you no harm, right? :)

If it was an email message I would just reply with one word "Thanks" no more. You are being polite but being so short so as not to encourage any further contact.

Uj have to reply to that wish coz though our enemy wish u we have to accept it and he is ur Ex. If u ignore it there will not be much difference between u and ur ex. So accept it and reply to it with a smile.

Do you want a relationship with her? DO you want to be friends with her? If you want to stay in touch with he for any reason, or try t be friends with her, then reply. If you want nothing to do with her ever again, then dont reply at all and just let it go.

My opinion is just ignore it. If you really feel that you can send a thanks note to her then do it only if she is worth receiving this kind of courtesy from you. Otherwise just ignore it. because you would very well know what kind of a person your ex is and her motto...so decide upon accordingly.
