AIBU?

YABU to expect him to remember. If it were a currant boyfriend then you have every right to be mad but as it's your ex then he shouldn't be expected to remember. I am still friends with my ex who was my first love and i wouldn't expect him to send me a txt or an email to say happy birthday (he had trouble when we were together
Without meaning to sound mean, even though your still friends he has probably moved on to another part of his life and your not his priority anymore (still not being mean). My first love has a new girlfriend now and i accept that he has moved on and don't expect anything from him anymore.

YABU, he lives in another country, contact is sporadic, he's your ex - he most likely has other things to do and it isn't as important to him as it is to you.
My dh finds it hard enough to acknowledge my birthday and he lives with me, sees me constantly and we're happily married.
It's a man thing .

God, I 'ignore' emails from good friends all the time. I open them, read them the RL takes over and I forget that I ought to reply for weeks on end. I'm not ignoring them on purpose, it's just what happens. I don't get offended if it happens the other way round.
