Do you buy birthday cards/presents for your ex?

[inthemistsoftime]

Bit of a daft question really, all my friends have said "not on your nelly"

But its his 40th and I feel a bit guilty as he bought me a really nice present, and I am fairly certain that his birthday isn't going to be great as his family are a bit staid.

Am I mad for even thinking it?

I'm not in this situation but if he's the fathe rof your children maybe give him something from them?

I buy ex H presents from the children, and a card from both children & myself. He does the same for me.

He's now a converted Jehovahs witness so has saved me a few bob the past couple of years!

hehe purple one.
i usually get a card and small present to him from ds.... unfortunately he doesnt do the same he forgets have reminded him this year so if he forgets again i may just do teh same next year

I am relying on MIL sorting thr kids presents out for exH, as for from me i won't be bothering.

Last year he was at mine for christmas day, he gave me a bag of chocs and a card with a kisses in the shape of a heart, which i was a bit , apparently it was just habit. can;t remember if i got him anything, poss a box of celebrations, but presents from kids.

I have my ex round for tea, buy him xmas and birthday presents
We were together for 22yrs and are still very close (but not in 'that' way), I love him dearly.
Thing is though, I certainly would not be like that with all my ex's!

In other words, only you know if you should buy him a prezzie, or just spit on him, iyswim.

Well, it depends, is he a good father, pays maintenance, treats you with respect etc...

My x wouldn't give us the steam off his p1ss, so that's precisely what he'll be getting for christmas and his 40th, his next birthday in fact.

going on your list TNMGN then no i shouldnt lol
