How to say the hard things

How to say happy birthday to an ex

Try this

Happy birthday — I hope this year is a really good one for you. Genuinely wishing you well.

The key: Warm, brief, full stop. No "I miss you," no inside jokes, no door left open unless you mean to open it. Short is what makes it read as kind, not loaded.
