My birthday has come and gone by now and no contact so I guess she has let go of me which is probably a good thing for me and her. Our last contact was almost 4 months ago by phone.
Should I or not send her a birthday card? Her birthday is one week after mine. I have to been asking myself this question the whole week. I say to myself I just want to wish her a happy birthday and hope she is doing well. Do I feel like we can be friends now? I don't know but I do want to eventually. When she left she said we could be friends but I just didn't want to be just friends. So now is she done with me? I did and said somethings to hurt her and I wonder if she meant what she said about being friends Posted on 05/07/08, 05:05 pm |

IMO, I wouldn't because this only causes the hurt to drag out a bit longer. I've been divorced for a little over a year now and I had to put a stop to this.
It only keeps the wound open and is more difficult to heal.

Thank you for your advices. Rainygirl made a good point. I do want to wish her a happy birthday and wish her well. But then I wonder am I being the enabler/rescuer again? Am I trying to manipulate her? I don't know. I don't want to manipulate her I think. I feel blessed that we had 2 years together and you know I also feel blessed that we have been separated for 7 months. It has hurt so much but I have found love in myself. As corny as it sounds, I do feel it eventhough somedays I am not so sure.

maybe next year? it may just confuse her and send some mixed messages. . . i wouldn't want a card from him and we sort of have to stay friends to successfully co-parent.

No no no no no no no no. Is that clear enough. The fact she did not send you one is a clear message.

No. I wouldn't even give it a second thought. You need to begin to take care of yourself. That starts by moving on.
