Once a year, your former partner's birthday comes around and if you two are still connected on social media, you will likely see an abundance of birthday greetings directed towards them in your feeds.
It is possible that you might feel overwhelmed with memories of past birthday celebrations you shared together. The intensity of these memories can depend on the duration of your relationship and the proximity of your breakup, with recent breakups being more challenging to distance yourself from.
Sending a text message to your former partner on their birthday may not always be the best idea, however, it can be difficult to resist the urge to do so. To help ensure that you do not end up feeling remorseful, we have put together a list of appropriate birthday messages for your ex-boyfriend.
SHOULD YOU TEXT YOUR EX-BOYFRIEND ON HIS BIRTHDAY?
In numerous past discussions, we have examined the pros and cons of texting your former partner. For the purpose of thoroughness, we will briefly revisit the question of whether it is advisable to send another text message to them.
Before hitting the send button, it's crucial to consider if reaching out to your ex-boyfriend on their birthday is the right thing to do. The first step is to ask yourself this question.
Initially, it is advisable to refrain from texting your ex-boyfriend on his birthday. If your breakup was recent, unpleasant, or he has moved on with someone else, sending a message will only bring up unwanted thoughts and emotions on a day that should be a happy one for him. There is no benefit in causing discomfort for both of you.
However, there may be situations where texting your ex is acceptable. For example, if you two are still close friends and communicate regularly, then sending a birthday message is appropriate. Additionally, if both of you still have feelings for each other and are considering rekindling the relationship, this would also be a suitable reason to text.
Determining what to text an ex can be challenging. Seeking resources to help you can be a natural step. If you need more in-depth guidance, consider the Text Chemistry Course by relationship coach Amy North. It offers a wide range of texts that you can use in various situations with your ex-boyfriend.

These messages are meant to evoke a positive and romantic response, and potentially rekindle the flame between the two of you.
If you're looking to rekindle the romance with your ex and have a positive relationship, consider using the following texts to express your feelings:
