I hadn't spoken to my ex-gf for 3 years and I received a "Happy New Year!" text the other night. It was most likely a mass text sent to everyone and I thought about ignoring it as usual as she probably accidentally sent it to me or something. However, I thought we're both at the point where we could at least be on talking terms like friends with no feelings attached as we have both moved on (has been 3 years). I responded saying happy new year too and asked how everything is, but it went ignored. Would you have done the same?

Sure, I'd have responded with a "Happy New Year to you, too." But I wouldn't have bothered asking for further details, I guess.

Seems pretty normal.


I wouldn't think much of it, she might have just been wasted.

No. I think it's immature. Ex's don't always have to be friends. They can be amicable at best. I'm still friends with some of my ex's. If they ask how I'm doing, I ask the same. Doesn't hurt to make sure the person is okay on a human-to-human level. Nothing wrong with caring just so long as both people understand what platonic means. She didn't have to be a "B" about it.

After three years I would have cleared the contact off my phone. Then you could have asked "who is this?" Or a "same to you" or "you as well" and left it that. Or the best option, not respond at all. Noting more.

I would have ignored if it was a mass message I sent, unless it was intended only to you personally there's no obligation to reply. Having said, it depends on who replied.

Hmm I think it depends on how they broken up.

if she cheated on him and him left for another guy. Then NO WAY JOSE would i ever speak to her again.

If you guys left because you guys may have fallen out of love, or locations/financial issues or something not to bad I would have defiantly responded.

Texts from ex do lead into good sex sometimes. Just saying.
