Trusting,

Out of curiosity, does your X acknowledge your bday? So strange that he's reminded you twice about his coming up .

Does he do this every year? Do you plan on personally acknowledging his bday in any way?

Maybe I'm off base here, but it seems like as you're moving farther away from him (not where he left you. Congrats on new guy)the more he's trying to draw you back in...
