Sarcastic Birthday Wishes for Ex-Girlfriend

16. Happy birthday to an ex-girlfriend turned dear friend. If I had to describe you as my ex-girlfriend, I’d say on the outside, you were a lovely girl with a calm demeanor. On the inside, you were a relentless tyrant with a heart of stone – only kidding! It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to poke a little fun at you, I miss that. Have a great birthday!
17. Happy birthday to my dear ex! After many nights of crying like a baby watching reruns of Friends whilst shoveling bowls of ice cream in PJs, it seems the wounds from our broken relationship still haven’t healed completely. Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be over it soon enough! I’m way past it now.
18. I hope you have a wonderful birthday, although I know it can’t possibly be that wonderful without my presence! I’m not trying to make you miss me too much and turn this into an emotional birthday, so I’ll leave it on a happy note by wishing you a very special day and the greatest year ahead yet.
19. Sending you this bog-standard, run-of-the-mill happy birthday text message to wish you a lovely day while trying to maintain this weird passive-aggressive energy and “I don’t want to talk to you” act that we’re trying so hard to keep up in the fear that we may end up falling for each other again if we let our guards down. 
20. Happy birthday from the best ex-boyfriend you’ve had, unless your current boyfriend is outshining me, only to end up as your next best ex-bf when you’re bored of him! Trying to stay valuable and interesting in your books requires your other half to live a life as adventurous as Indiana Jones whilst staying in full-time work and handling various chores.  
21. I searched the “best gift for ex-girlfriends” category on this site to find the perfect birthday present for you, and then I realized, there’s not much that beats the gift I gave you when we split up – freedom! I guess you could say it’s the gift that keeps on giving. 

Funny Birthday Wishes for Ex-Girlfriend

22. Happy birthday to my fabulous ex gf! If I had to pick the title of a romantic movie to explain our relationship, I’d have to say either “10 Things I Hate About You” or “Clueless” – I have enough for the first one to create a trilogy and the second one sums you up for the whole time we were together. 
23. Happy birthday to the only past girlfriend that’s worth keeping in touch with. May this birthday text message bring you all the happiness you deserve on your special day by triggering a showreel of beautiful memories that put a big fat smile on your face? 
24. I looked for birthday quotes to find the right words to say to you, but finding a pleasant birthday message for an ex gf isn’t easy to find. Most of them were filled with profanities and were pretty mean – it seems not many people like their exes! I’m glad our memories remain happy for the most part.
25. I know my terrible memory has always been one of the things that annoyed you the most, but at least I didn’t forget that it was your birthday today! It might have taken a break-up to get me to fix my flaws, but hey, better late than never I guess! Enjoy your special day.
26. Happy birthday to the most beautiful girl I’ve ever been with. I thought about buying you some birthday/breakup gifts, but you probably don’t need additional items to keep reminding you of me when you’re trying to move on. So, I guess you could say that my gift to you is the lack of a gift that brings you peace of mind instead!
27. Happy birthday to my lovely ex gf. Another year down and one year closer to you hopefully forgiving me for all of my relationship blunders – although given the long list, it may take a decade before you’re done. Enjoy your special day and a future of being free from my nonsense!  
28. I hope your birthday brings you all the happiness of the moment you realized you no longer had to deal with my crazy shenanigans. In the interest of keeping you happy today and not driving you up the wall, I decided to send this birthday wish from afar so you don’t have to see my annoying face on your special day!
