Sarcastic Birthday Wishes for Ex-Boyfriend

13. Happy birthday dear ex-boyfriend. May your special day be filled with joy, laughter, and the realization that some things never change – like your knack for ruining perfectly good relationships.
14. As your ex-girlfriend, I feel obligated to send you a touching birthday message. So here goes nothing. Dear ex-boyfriend, Happy birthday, may today be a reminder of the lies you told that forced us to go our separate ways. Hope honesty is a word that you’ve learned since we split.
15. Happy birthday, ex-boyfriend. Here’s to celebrating the fantastic lover you once pretended to be. May your future endeavors be as successful as your multiple attempts to win me back. 
16. Happy birthday to my dear ex-boyfriend. I hope all your wishes come true, however, if one of them is to have me back in your life, I wouldn’t hold your breath. That would be a wasted wish because there is probably more chance of me sprouting wings and turning into a pigeon.
17. Happy birthday sweetheart. Wishing you a wonderful birthday, because even though you’re an ex, you’re still the same person, yet dumb enough to think you’ve changed. Some couples break up and remain good friends, some don’t. For us, I think it’s the latter.
18. To my dear ex-boyfriend. Here’s a nice birthday message to let you know that even though you’re a huge dingus, you’re still my dingus until another unfortunate soul claims you as theirs. Isn’t it crazy how one person could be such a terrible boyfriend on one hand, but such a good friend on the other?! That’s a compliment by the way. Have a fabulous birthday!
19. Hey ex, happy birthday. I hope your special day is filled with more surprises than that time you accidentally sent me a love-dovey text meant for someone else.

Funny Birthday Wishes for Ex-Boyfriend

20. Wishing a wonderful birthday to the most amazing yet dumb ex that I’ve had. Although your annoying tendencies drove me to breaking point, I still hold dear all the sweet memories we created during those rare times when you were on your best behavior. 
21. Happy birthday to the only ex I value keeping in touch with. Consider yourself lucky that I’m writing you this birthday wish and sincerely wishing you a lovely birthday. I may refer to you as my dumb ex-boyfriend in convos due to the history of your antics that caused us to split. Somehow though, I still manage to find sweet memories when I dig deep…real deep.
22. Happy birthday to an ex-boyfriend worth remembering. You were a terrible partner in most senses, but a fantastic lover I must say. I can’t say I would ever enter into another serious relationship with you again, but life is short, and good one-night stands are hard to find these days so maybe I’ll see you around. 
23. Happy birthday, ex-boyfriend! Here’s to another year of you proving that you’re still the same person who made me question my life choices. May the joys you experience be as frequent as your commitment issues. 
24. Happy birthday to my amazing ex-boyfriend. It’s a shame that we weren’t very romantically compatible, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to put you in the friend zone. I guess having you as a best friend is better than not having you at all.
25. From long heart-touching birthday wishes to short birthday messages without all the lovey-dovey fluff, oh how far we’ve come. To think that we were once inseparable and now more than a few minutes together in the same room would send us both cuckoo. All jokes aside, even though you made a dumb ex-boyfriend, you brought a smile to my face every day we were together and our beautiful memories still make me chuckle. 
26. Wishing my loveable yet dumb ex a very happy birthday. I hope your day is filled with the same level of happiness that you brought into my life, which I’ve now learned to find in retail therapy. Have the best birthday and a positive year ahead.
27. Happy birthday to my dear ex. I’m sure we both have a few regrets about our relationship and things we could have done differently. However, one thing I think both of us can agree on is that not getting each other’s names tattooed on ourselves was probably the greatest joint decision we’ve ever made. 
28. Wishing my ex-boyfriend an amazing birthday. I hope, for the sake of your future love interests, that you have learned some valuable lessons from our relationship. Or at the very least mugs, shot glasses, and Amazon vouchers are not the preferred items to buy as birthday presents for your long-term partner.
