  • so what's the etiquette for this?

    my ex wife turns thirty today. I bought her a happy birthday card from our son, of course, but facebook is reminding me that i should write something on her wall. she didn't even give enough ****s to give me a card from our son when it was my birthday, but it's super weird to watch our mutual friends wish her happy birthday on facebook.

    There's no etiquette... just do whatever you feel like doing.

      Don't forget to hide the bodies.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

        If you're friendly Friends, say Happy Birthday. If you're not, don't. It's not even an etiquette question, it's a common sense question.

          Are you asking what I would do or what you should do? Those are different things.

          Would do - I'd have a card from your son and something from you.

          Should do - what you really want to write on her wall and then sit back and eat popcorn. YMMV of course.

            If you know about someone's BD you should wish them a happy birthday...except Hitler

              That's in theory, but not in practice. If I don't get along with someone, I don't want to hear from them, period.

                It's passive aggressive in that case, I do it all the time

                    Well, if you are friends with her on Facebook, then a HB on Facebook is okay.

                    ACK!

                        She didn't wish you a happy BD, so don't wish her one either.

                            A simple "happy birthday" on FB is appropriate. It's just being civil. Anything more becomes open to interpretation.
