It happens once a year: your ex-boyfriend’s birthday rolls around. If you’re friends on social media, your feeds will be filled with birthday wishes to him.

Should You Text Your Ex-BoyFriend on His Birthday?
We’ve discussed the wisdom of texting your ex-boyfriend in many of our previous posts. We’ll take a quick look at the question of whether you should text him again, just in case.
Before you text him, the first thing you should ask yourself is, should you even text your ex-boyfriend on his birthday?
Our initial recommendation is to resist the urge to text him. If you’ve just broken up, the breakup was bad, or he’s with another girl, you texting him won’t do anything other than force both of you to think about each other on a day he should be enjoying. There’s no point in causing pain for both of you.

- Happy birthday, *his name.* I hope you have a great day!
- Happy birthday! *insert smiling or birthday emoji here*
- Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I hope you’re doing well!
- Simply send him a basic birthday-related gif or picture.
