Input: Let me start by saying this happened at the beginning of the year, but it was recently brought to my attention which is why I’m posting this. 

My ex and I had been best friends all through high school, he wanted more, I did not until the end of my junior year/ his senior year. We dated for 7ish months, broke up because he didn’t really put in effort that I wanted from a boyfriend. We stayed friends because there wasn’t much fighting and we didn’t hate each other.

Flash forward to shortly after, I started dating this guy (we’re still together now, he’s wonderful) and my ex started talking to another girl. We were happy for each other, there wasn’t jealousy or hostility. They had been going on dates and having sex and everything, but my ex said they were not officially dating. Of course I was like, that’s fine, I don’t care how you label your love life. However, the day of my birthday rolled around, instead of seeing me or calling me or texting me to wish me a happy birthday, he asked out that girl (he’s known me since we were 13/14, he knows my birthday, so he didn’t forget). He texted me and talked for hours about how he asked her out, but didn’t once say happy birthday.

I ended up cutting him off because I didn’t want any petty ex drama and it really seemed like he was trying to start a fight over this, but maybe I’m just over thinking this. AITA?
