What to Say to Ex on His/Her Birthday
Well, that's a hard question!
Be sure that you understand the reason you want to send his/her birthday greetings. Also, you need to understand what you expect in response. It all sounds so analytical, but that's what you're here for. You are having a tough time getting past your failed relationship, which is normal. I let a failed relationship bother me for years, but during that time I still met other people.
As for my ex and that relationship, I persisted in maintaining contact because initially I wanted to believe that we could be together again. In a sense we are together now because we came to realize that we have a special relationship, just not a romantic one. And after some chilly years we are very close again, just not romantically.
You can't be certain what lies ahead for you and your ex. But understand that she has moved on, and if you and your ex have a mutual desire to rebuild a relationship, you will. But it takes two, so be patient and build slowly. Finally, if you two succeed in building a relationship, it may not be what you initially expected, but it could be way better than you imagined.
So text them a simple 'Happy Birthday' to see if the ex still have feelings for you. If they do care and are in the same boat, they do get back to you...and from there on you are one step further in binding your broken relationship.
I would suggest you to read the "Magic of Making Up" guide. It has so much info on what to say and most importantly what not to say to your ex.
Good luck and take care
