Thank you Laura. Yesterday he emailed me to say I was in his thoughts, asking how I was etc. so I told him i don’t want to be his friend, that he knows how I feel and where I am if he wants to see me to talk, but otherwise it’s best we both have space, so he has agreed to that (though is playing the victim, saying he’ll always love me bla bla bullshit bla). So I think in the light of that, I think it is best to not wish him happy birthday afterall, hard/weird as it feels x
