Well if you genuinely are thinking of her and wishing her the best than do it. If you are doing it for another reason i.e. as an excuse to open the door to communication than yes do it and if you acted badly and are only doing it to make your self feel better and be the 'nice guy' than dont. Its her day. If you sincerely want to apologize do it directly. You didn't say how you broke it off or why and what the feelings were like over it ... if she is heartbroken and you just wanted to date other people and didn't explain than it would be selfish to confuse her with a happy message you don't feel. So basically if it a sincere genuine wish its good if it only a gesture to make you feel better don't bother.

Lib1 agony auntLeave her alone. My ex and I broke up 2 months before my birthday and nothing you say, give her or do will make-up for the fact you two are not together. I wish my ex didn't send me a birthday card and other messages to me for not only my birthday but for valentines day seven months after the break-up! Just let sleeping dogs lie. It causes so much strife and pain.

Zahir,

Is this the same girl that you thought was cheating on you? If so, no, do not wish her a happy birthday. Remember that if someone doesn't respect you, why should you make them feel special?

sunnycomet agony auntI remember the last question you posted. lol

You really seem to miss/love her.

Wish her a happy birthday but keep it short and simple.

Oh and there is no need to put your first/last name and where you are from when asking a question. It's better to stay anonymous for your safety. Some people on the internet will take advantage of information like that.

Give her time and maybe she will forgive you for dumping her for no good reason and you can try again. But don't get your hopes up. Try and be a really good friend to her and help her.

Good Luck!
