It’s my birthday today and I’ve already cried once

[Deebee90]

So it’s my birthday today and I should be all happy and enjoying life.

instead I’m lying on the sofa eating maltesers and watching one day on Netflix because my dick of an ex text me at midnight to tell me he was on a date.

we’ve been split 2 months and speak every day so I stupidly assumed we might get back together or he might get me a card. Just a stupid text.

happy Saturday everyone here’s a birthday to remember ☕️

Happy Birthday OP. The text really doesn't recommend exh, who the hell would send that message at this time? You know now that it's time to move on.

BTW it's my mum's birthday too today, 85. She's just woken up and I'm about to make her tea.

Hope you've got some good coffee or tea around.

Happy birthday!!

Start today as you mean to go on, treat it as your new year's day, fresh new year, fresh start! Go do something that will make you smile today and think about what you'd like to achieve by this time next year!

Your ex is a twat, so block him and move on! I know its not easy but you can't get over someone you're in constant contact with so make this your first step to your new year!

Happy birthday OP now you have noone standing in the doorway stopping you moving on. What a dick!

Tomorrow will feel better ❤️

You don't need him. Find your inner strength. He could also be trying to make you jealous but so what? You don't need him.

Block him and move on.

He's given you a gift: unequivocal message that you're not getting back together. Take that gift and reclaim your life.

Happy birthday @Deebee90

he is a dick, block him. He’s moved on and confusing you by messaging every day.

Your worth is not determined by a man, you are fabulous as you are

don’t binge watch one day it will make you feel worse.

Happy birthday, I hope you have planned a lovely day for yourself.

Happy Birthday and try to be grateful that you are no longer involved with a spiteful, insecure manchild who needs to you imagine you feeling jealous of him to feel good about himself. Was that how your relationship was, were you to feel blessed by his presence in your life and this is why you now feel sad and empty without it. You neednto change your mind set. Any man would be lucky to have you abd you've had a lucky escape from this prick!

Now go and do something lovely and spoil yourself!

Happy Birthday
Give your ex the boot. He is playing head games with you.
You don't need him in your life

What an absolute fuckwit. Bullet dodged if that's the kind of bloke he is. Always useful when ex's remind you exactly why you don't need them in your life.

Hope you manage to put him out of your head and have a nice day 💐

Happy Birthday!

I think he’s gifted you unknowingly, as now you know why he’s an ex and that there should be absolutely no space in your life for the twat.

Happy birthday to you 💐!

This!

Thank goodness he's an ex. He did this deliberately to mess with your head. Block is the way to go.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday You deserve better. Make this the year that you win at life.x

Block him. I made the same mistake fairly recently of being in contact with someone who’d already hurt me once (leading to the break up). He then sent me a screenshot from a dating app he was on and my heart just sunk but it did make me realise that given the frequent contact, if he wanted to fix things with me he would’ve and he wouldn’t have been looking for someone else. So - painful as it is, it can sometimes be the kick up the arse you need to let go.

Happy birthday 🎂 watch a comedy rather than something sad, it’ll help! X

@Deebee90 Happy Birthday. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but look on it as you getting a gift that lets you see just what a nasty person your ex is. He texted you as soon as your Birthday rolled round to let you know he's on a date? What an unbelievably unkind thing to do to you.

Don't keep hoping you will get back together - he will only bring you more heartbreak, even if it happened. Stop texting him or replying to his texts. Block him and move on with your life. Somewhere out there is someone who will love you and make you happy. You just haven't found them yet

Treat yourself to something nice today

I'm sorry he's a dick.
But can you focus on seeing this as a gift?
You're no longer going out with a dick!
What a nice reminder of good riddance to bad rubbish.
Happy birthday, I'm glad he's your ex.
Bonus gift to yourself: block him and never expect anything from him again.

If he texted you when he is on a date, he obviously wants your attention. Don't give it to him. Tell yourself you are worth more than that dick. Be kind to yourself. Happy Birthday.

Thank you for all the lovely messages. I’m currently at my mums and she’s doing me an afternoon tea bless her. As for him his numbers been blocked and and any photos or messages erased .

Prick of an ex does not deserve your tears. I would say pity his poor date but I wouldn’t want you to waste any more emotion on him/the situation.
Enjoy your afternoon tea with your mum, that sounds really lovely 💐

Well done for blocking him OP.

Enjoy your Birthday afternoon tea and enjoy the time with your Mum.

we’ve been split 2 months and speak every day so I stupidly assumed we might get back together or he might get me a card. Just a stupid text.

In the long term you’ll be able to see this as a win because hopefully, you won’t be wasting more of your time on him.

I think it just hit me more as we should have been on holiday in Paris now so finding out he was on a date stung. But good luck to him and her next year I won’t be moping at home or if I am I’ll be in a hot country somewhere

Kindly, you’re being a smidge unreasonable in that your expectations are too high of something that has ended

I agree with others, block him, go cold turkey and turn the page. Hanging onto the past won’t help you. He’s moving on, you will do too.

happy birthday to you, give yourself the best gift you can give, love yourself and be kind to yourself, no more tears on your birthday EVER!

Onwards and upwards. Have a lovely birthday with your mum and hopefully next birthday you'll look back on today as the 1st day of new beginnings.
Happy Birthday.

He’s an ex for a reason. Block him and try to enjoy the rest of your day. Fuck him, he’s not worth your tears.
