Thanks, MF, I think what happened is you sent me the nerve and I received a response in my gut that said "don't say anything at all." !!!
Don't say anything at all to him about your birthday. Family and friends celebrate your birthday with you. He is neither.
To wonder what he is thinking or why he took those days off is nothing more than mind reading. It won't do you any good and just keep you wondering 'what if'. Wondering 'what if' doesn't allow you to detach. You need to detach in order to move on with your life. When you do that things will happen.
When he texted you about his days off changing, I wouldn't have bothered responding. It wasn't a question. It didn't need a response.
