Birthday No Call

So Friday was my 23rd birthday. My ex boyfriend broke up with me in June and we have continued to talk prettymuch once a week (mostly because I was still keeping contact.) I did not call him at all last week and never thought he woulnd't contact me in some way on my birthday. But he didnt... I texted him at 11 that night and simply said "thanks." I never got a response. I am so unbelievably hurt that he did not say anything to me. We dated for a year and 4 months and I put him on such a pedestal. I really thought he was the most amazing guy. He lives 4 blocks from me at my beach house and the town is not very big. I am pretty sure that I will run in to him at some point before the summer ends and I really want to be able to walk past him without saying anything but I know that it probably isnt very likely. I am just in utter shock that he didnt call me on my birthday... I guess it is really time to stop making excuses for him and stop contacting him all together. His birthday is September 1st and I want to be the bigger person and send him an email just saying happy birthday but I dont know if that is a good idea. Any thoughts?

Hi mmcurtin,


You don't have to decide about his birthday right now.
