happy birthday

It's my ex's birthday. Ok... to be fair, yesterday was his birthday... I just haven't slept yet. Anyhow, I decided to break up with him... as a friend. See this is hard to explain without a proper back story.. but to cut it short.. I am dating someone new.. and when I was dating my ex he would spend HOURS (9 at most) hanging out with his ex of three years (they went out for three years had been apart for a matter of months.) This was the ultimate cause of our breakup... not sooo much my jealousy but more because of his reactions. Frankly, I don't want to cause my current relationship to exhibit the same failures. So I've abandoned the friend attempt... because I'd rather be happy with the guy who really makes me happy than to pander to the friendship with a guy that broke my heart... just a little. ... I think that's fair enough.
