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

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! Give yourself the best present ever by blocking the cunt

Just this 😂😂

Be grateful that he's shown you just how pathetic and petty he is. Who is childish enough to text an ex on their birthday to say 'I'm on a date with someone?'.

He sounds about 14 and utterly ridiculous. Glad you've blocked him.

Happy birthday! Sounds like he's done you a favour, I know it hurts but you're well rid of him. It's my birthday today as well ☺️ I also cried this morning for a very different reason, don't be me, 14 years of marriage down the toilet and a very manipulative man. Chin up, life will get better from now on xx

Happy Birthday, OP.

Please try to consider your ex's dickish text as a gift: by timing it as he did, he's shown you definitively who he is (100% asshole) and that you deserve so much better than someone like him.

Happy Birthday. Don’t give that twat a second thought. Cheers and enjoy your day 🥂

Americano75 · 09/03/2024 13:19

I think you're being very unreasonable when you say he didn't get you a gift. I'd say getting the fuck out of your life is the best present he could ever give you.

Prick.

Americano75 · 09/03/2024 13:19

And I hope his date gave him crabs.

RavenFox · 09/03/2024 13:46

Block. If you're not ready to move on then at least start planning what you will do when you are. Don't let him think for a second you are lost without him or care about this date. Happy Birthday, it'll be ok, he's a cockwomble and it's her turn now to deal with his shite. You're off the hook! Have a drink and smile 😁

Uricon2 · 09/03/2024 13:49

Happy birthday. He has given you a great gift actually, because whether he's on a date or just after a reaction, that text would only be sent by a tosser and now you know what he is.

Doteycat · 09/03/2024 13:52

You need to channel Miley and buy yourself flowers.
Hes a prick and you are better off without him.
Dust yourself off today and welcome in a new year of you without that negativity.

Happy birthday!!

Bollocks to your ex. You've obviously had a lucky escape there. He sounds like a twat.

Ex sounds like a twat, and imagine being on a date with a bloke who spends even 30 seconds texting his ex? I feel sorry for his date tbh.

That's what I was thinking, @NoraLukaNoraLuka - he's not much of a date if he's texting someone else.

LifeExperience · 09/03/2024 15:01

Happy Birthday! Block your ex and move on.

Deebee90 · 09/03/2024 17:20

I’ve had a lovely day, been for a 5 mile walk with my mum, she’s made me and my brother afternoon tea and I’ve had a pamper and done a face mask, hair mask etc. back on the sofa now with more chocolate and looking at holidays to Greece . As birthdays go I’ve enjoyed it.

I am glad to hear you have blocked the Ex and had a lovely pampering day with your family. 💐

MiMiChuna · 09/03/2024 20:51

Onwards & upwards! @Deebee90

Whiskeypowers · 09/03/2024 20:54

That sounds like a great birthday. Glad you’ve enjoyed yourself

Purplehue13 · 09/03/2024 20:57

Happy Birthday!! I hope your day has been lovely otherwise.
Get a nice glass of wine to go with the Maltesers and forget about him, clearly not worth your time and has only text you to upset you.

Scaffoldingisugly · 09/03/2024 21:02

I threw my exh out 4 days before my birthday...
5 years later I married my now dh on my birthday!!
Exh is just a distant bad memory..
Presume he gave his next victim the presents I had chosen myself he had under the bed he took with him.
