    Hey everyone

    Just what to see what people's opinions are on this as I think the advice people give here is sound. I will drag the story out, I'll make it concise. An ex who split up with me nearly two years ago now wished me a nice happy birthday message through text. The break up was sad, but wasn't dramatic at all. I was very hurt because she ended it but I respected her decision and asked her not to contact me, she did so, I had one drunken missed call off her one night which I ignored. Other than that we have had zero contact. I replied to the birthday text and said thank you etc and we exchanged a couple of texts and left it at that. Do you think it was just a birthday text or something more? I didn't even know she knew my birthday, I'm not on Facebook etc

    Could be any reason. Guilt, regret, etc. I've had similar nonsense from an ex before. She wanted to break up and i respected her wishes but then she said 'if things change down the line we might get back together' which kind of cheesed me off tbh. Her attitude was she could put in no effort yet wanted all the benefits. A user

    Months later, low and behold she contacts me out of the blue and there is exchange in bits over next few months and then nothing...Shed moved on. I was meant to move heaven and earth for her and change while she didn't have to do a thing in her mind.

    My advice is not to read too much into it. She just wants attention
