For some reason I do not want to lose the line of communication with my ex.

His birthday is around the corner and I am thinking about emailing him happy birthday.

I consulted some of my friends already and they all suggested that I save myself some diginity and just walk away, which is understandable. Wishing him happy birthday is more like telling him I still care about him. I do still care about him and just want to be nice to him. However, since we are broken up and I, to be honest, still hold the unrealistic hope of getting back to him, sticking to NC is probably better in the long run?

Not sure what to do… I just miss him a lot I guess..
