Tips for Texting Your Ex on Her Birthday

Hitting send is the hard part. These five checks keep a birthday text from turning into something neither of you wanted.

• Check your motive first: if you want her to have a good day, send it. If you are hoping to restart something, expect silence and do not push when it comes.
• Keep it short: one or two sentences shows you remembered without asking for her time or her emotional energy on her own birthday.
• Skip anything romantic or suggestive: flirty lines, old pet names, and hints about getting back together turn a kind message into a problem. Friendly and positive is the whole target.
• Respect a no-contact request: if things ended badly or she asked for space, silence is the kinder gift. A birthday does not cancel a boundary.
• Send it and let it go: if she replies, good. If she does not, leave it there and never double text. It is her day, not yours.
