Should I wish my ex's mom a happy birthday or is that awkward?

Question

My ex's mother's birthday is on the 21st. I want to wish her a happy birthday over facebook, maybe send her a message or post it on her wall, but I'm afraid that might be awkward. I was only with my ex for 3 months, but 90% of that time I was with his family. I got to really appreciate & care for his family; they were always extremely welcoming & I was very comfortable around them. But I haven't spoken to my ex since we broke up about 2 months ago. We're not exactly on bad terms, we broke up because it was too difficult to balance his freshmen year if college while having a girlfriend. But soon after his ex he's known for about 4 years & hadn't spoken to in around 6 months came back & asked to try dating again, & i was too hurt to try & be friends like he asked. Overall I do miss his family, & I would like to wish his mom a happy birthday. But is that awkward?

Answer 1

I dont thiink so.. my bestfriend was so close to her boyfriend's mum..when they broke up they stoped talking but on her birthday she sent her a gift and it was completely normal...



you're just sending her a message so that fine there's nothing wrong about it.. you're being nice :] thats not a problem.

Answer 2

Not awkward in the slightest. Your friendship with this lady is completely different to whatever relationship you shared with your ex. Just because you guys weren't right for each other doesn't mean you can't send a Happy Birthday note to someone you care about. I'm sure she'll really appreciate hearing from you and be touched that you thought of her. :-)

It's going to be pretty painful after breaking up with someone you love so much. It's inevitable that you're going to feel very down, sad and depressed. Sometimes it seems you spend every waking moment thinking about how to get your ex back. Try to visit this site in order to get the best benefit out of it https://tr.im/NIb9u



Do a simple search, and you're bound to find a plethora of information, with a whole host of different opinions, sometimes seemingly off opposing viewpoints. To focus in on something that's going to help you, the first thing you think about is establishing some common courtesy.



First off, NEVER play mind games with people. This will only get people hurt and will probably end up worsening the situation. I only mention this because naturally people are ruled by their emotions rather than thinking their actions through thoroughly. Think the situation through before doing things based on your emotions. Remember, even if you do manage to get people to do what you want, this amounts to manipulation, and however good you feel now, I guarantee it won't last very long.

Answer 4

Do it.



It's facebook. You're notbuying her a yacht or a new car or hose.



I'm not all that old, but if this were even 20 years ago, you wouldn't have the casual facebook option.



Besides, if it's on her wall and she doesn't want it there, she can appreciate the gesture and remove it.

Answer 5

It's definitely possible, that's for sure

Answer 6

it will never hurt to tell anyone happy birthday, if you know them. that is just being nice to someone, so what kind of harm could it do, besides show them that you care. which will make them feel better toward you for they will know you care for them enough to think about them.

Answer 7

If you care for her, there is nothing wrong with telling her happy birthday.

Answer 8

No, it is not awkward to wish happy birth day.

Answer 9

no, if you're close to his family, a quick wall post won't do much harm(:

Skip the electronic junk. Go to the store and buy her a birthday card: sign it, mail it.
