Tomorrow (1/12) is my WAW's birthday. I don't think I'll be writing the long heartfelt card that I've done for her in the past, so I'm searching for something short, but effective.

I thought of "I hope that you find the happiness that you are seeking," a sentiment that I picked up here on these boards, but I've already used that in conversation on several occasions.

Any Suggestions for a good, concise, birthday greeting for a WAS?

I'm with NYSurvivor. After nearly a year's worth of infidelity, your WAW isn't entitled to much more than "Happy Birthday."

SAHD, though MCWaterDog seemingly agrees with me, he doesn't represent my opinion.

I'm suggesting a plain, brief statement with just your name signed to it because I believe in not getting into sentiments and wishes and blah, blah as long as it can be viewed as "pursuing" type behavior and by sending the card you're simply sending a message that you're thinking of her on her special "day", which is civil and courteous.

"indignation" is not a nation I prefer to dwell in.

Thanks, NYS and MCW. I posted this question on several different boards and got pretty much the same answer from everyone.

Some questioned why I would send a card at all, but they didn't know that we are still living together and that there is a chance, however slight, that we could reconcile before this all crumbles apart.

I would send the card and keep it short!
Maybe I can hijack your posting to get help with mine! You can read my sitch but my W is going away this weekend to write a big 2 day exam fo her paramedics. I was planning to send flowers with heart felt message. Originally it was going to be red rose and "I love you, thinking of you, and I know you will do awesome! Good luck! The kids and I are very proud of you"
Now do I still send flowers....roses? Daisies? What?

From what I've read I would skip the flowers and the "I love you," but the rest seems nice.
