Philabonia Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I didnt know quite where to post this, so under this forum (since my overall intent is as such) seemed the most logical... Long story short, we broke up 3 months ago (her choice), and have not been in contact much since - refer to my other thread for the full story. I, of course, love her dearly and regret a lot, and would only like to show her that. Her birthday is coming up in mid-October. I am going to send her a birthday card. I have already decided this, so please do not try to talk me out of it; even if we ended horribly, I would still have the decency to reach out in such a manner. My question is, what the heck should I say? I've already told her I miss her and love her, and that had no affect. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of a friendly greeting, keep it light, and let her know that I care about her no matter what the circumstances. That is how I honestly feel - that, even 60 yrs from now, no matter what happens, I will still care for her and want her to be happy. Its just what reality is. Sure, I can move on, but I will always have a place in my heart. I want to say that without being mushy - should I even say that at all? Any advice on the topic would be appreciated!

iBroken Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 What would you say to a friend if you were mailing them a card? She isnt your g/f anymore, so if you are going to do this "friendly" gesture, I wouldnt put anything in there that I wouldnt send to a friend.

PaleSeptember Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I would just write "Have a great birthday " sign my name and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philabonia Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 That's probably the best idea - the card should be enough. I havent contacted her in over a month now, and I only responded to her texts with non-emotional language. I still miss her all the time, but I need to at least put up the image that I am moving on quite easily. I will make the card kind of humorous too - I dont want it to even mention the past. Should I go store-bought Hallmark or a handwritten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abigheart Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 How are you going to give her the card, just send it to her via mail? Why not do e-mail? Especially if you've been pretty much NC for three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrapAtNC Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I agree. A text or email of Facebook message would be more appropriate than a card, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
