A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hello, I hope someone can help me. I feel I have no-one I can talk to about this and its churning around in my head. My ex and I split up some months ago and since then we have had very little contact. today was the first birthday he has had since we split and I texted him once to wish him happy birthday and he hasnt replied. I feel really hurt and angry towards him about this. How could he not reply after all we went through? am feeling low that I'm not even worth two minutes of his time for him to reply. I know this probably seems minor but it is a big deal to me. Why would he just ignore me?

If you (the person that posted the original post) are reading this please let me know what happened by responding to this. The reason I ask is because I am now in the very same position and very hurt that I didn't even get a thank you for my effort to wish him a happy birthday.

Please let me know what the outcome was. Did you ever hear back from him, are you still apart or back together. Your answers would mean a lot to me. thanks

Think you`ll be better accepting he see`s you as past and doesnt seem to want to be friends. He may have met someone else.

It is totally understandable as to why you feel hurt that he did not reply to your text. you still have feelings for him that is why it hurts. Now if you did not have those feelings, then it would not bother you that he did not reply. I sent my ex a Happy belated birthday text and I don't care if he don't reply because my feelings for him are no longer there for me to want to start upsetting myself over. Trust and believe that he is probably still looking at that text and smiling to himself. Don't stress yourself out over it and move on with your life and he will be back but as long as you are stressing and getting angry over somthing like this he will continue to torture you by not contacting you.

Perhaps he is so incredibly pissed that your message and the 15 other happy birthday messages have been received and understood, but not replied to yet as that takes time and effort.

Stop stressing, he's your ex, you shouldn't be letting him churn you up this way.

Good Luck!! xx

Perhaps he was occupied or had someone with him. I think it depends on how you split up-was it mutual or did he finish with you and why? Its hard but if he doesnt contact you leave him be he isnt worth your energy
