Cheesy, holidays are often a let down, especially when we are in turmoil, so don't expect that she has beautiful memories when she's with sow. I bet not! If you have been non-responsive, then maybe it's time for a simple Happy Bday text. IDK. If you could talk to a DB coach, that would be good.
W told me last night that she appreciated that we stayed in touch while she was off on her stupid A with stupid ow. Knowing I still cared -- and that she could lose that -- kept her attached to me. And here I thought I was doing the NC thing so well! I think the longest we went with NC was 15 days. I also think that something like a birthday brings up memories of birthdays past, so your W is probably thinking of you and wondering if you still care. Then, if sow doesn't step up, she will have that disappointment next to your text and she might just compare you favorably to sow. Good luck, cheesyt.
