Topic: Happy b-day

My ex sent me a happy b-day text. I started to reply with an indifferent "thanks" and then all the anxiety, bitterness, and hurt came flooding back. I thought "too much pain" and deleted it. It has been almost 6 years. He is remarried and I am happily engaged. Should I reply, even with something as small as "thanks"?

"If I listened earlier, I wouldn't be here. But that's just the trouble with me. I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it."

In a word - No. He's not your friend.

I'm sorry you are hurting/triggering from that.

But: happy birthday to you!!

This pond has no water.

I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!
