writes: hello, I feel slighted by my ex boyfriend. My birthday has passed, and he has not even texted me a birthday wish, or even msg me on facebook. I kind of anticipitated it, but it would of been nice for him to acknowledge my birthday, considering that I made a conscious effort on his birthday. I sent him flowers and a card , now I've started to wish I never had wasted my valuble money. I don't have feelings for him anymore, but his lack of effort to initiate simple friendship or civility does annoy me. When I say civility, I mean, when we pass each other , he cant even muster a hello when he sees me. thanks for reading just wanted to get the annoyance of my chest. B

That is a shame. I think there must have been reasons why he didn't send you anything. Perhapps he just thought it would bring up old feelings, and he wants to blank them out so to speak. Another scenario is that he just couldn't be bothered. You aren't his g/f anymore, so maybe he thought there was no need.Another possibility is that he was afraid of how you would react to receiving something. Maybe he thought you wouldn't react at all, and so decided against it. I kind of understand where he would be coming from if this was the case. My ex-girlfriends birthday was earlier in the week. I sent her a card, and I'm still waiting on a thank-you. Fair enough she may have had other reasons not to, since we aren't officially talking right now. All the same, a quick text message would hardly be breaking any rules.Anyway, back to you. I think he should have known that everyone likes to have their birthday acknowledged (girls especially), yet he didn't do it. He may have reasons, but this is jsut a sign that you should move on from him, I feel.
