Success Happy

My boyfriend still calls his ex to say happy birthday? Do you think this is wrong?

Ok, so my boyfriend recently divorced his wife. He has 3 kids with her. However, he still calls her on her birthday and wishes her happy birthday. I don't call my ex-husband, and I don't think he should either.

1. Why is it wrong? Being nice to his ex wife isn't going to harm anything.
2. I would have a problem with it. My husband was getting text messages from an ex wife for his birthday and fathers day. I let him know it was not appropriate and I had a problem with it. Apparently he said something to her and they all stopped.
3. thats the mother of his children,if u choose to be with him you have to understand that she will always be special to him,its not like he's trying to do you wrong,and at least he's not hiding it from you.
4. Get over yourself.
5. Being civil and amicable to your ex is one thing, and a good thing. But making phonecalls regarding birthdays/anniversaries etc is pushing things too far. You are right, he should not be calling her on her birthday - that's just a bit much.
6. yes ii would have a problem with it idc ii don't go contact my ex's don't even once think about them ii have him and he has me thats it <3
7. He has three kids with her , They have a history, what is the big deal? It is just a phone call.
8. There is nothing wrong that with however, I personally would be pissed off because that is her new mans job, not my husbands. I am very selfish when it comes to my husband. If your not wishing your ex a happy birthday, he should do the same and respect you. Speak to him to let him know how you feel. Good Luck!!
9. Not at all. She is the mother of his children. You come third (children, children's mother...you). Though if you marry him you do come before the ex...but only when married.
10. Here is the issue really ... You are jealous that he is giving unnecessary attention to a woman he should no longer be giving this kind of attention to. If you have clearly communicated to him that this behaviour makes you uncomfortable he should stop, after all it's you who he is married to now and you whom he must make sure is happy first. As to the actual 'thing', calling your ex on their birthday to say 'happy birthday' if you have another wife is only going to cause trouble, and I would deem highly inappropriate behaviour for a newly married man.
11. Not a big deal. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's good for the kids to see their parents be kind to each other. If you get bent out of shape over it, he's just going to see you as insecure, so leave it. If their behaviour is otherwise appropriate, you have no need to worry.
12. A resounding " YES!!!"
13. He is totally wrong. That is completely disrespectful to you. I agree with you, I would never call any of my exes. You should remind him that it's over!
14. No way that is right, maybe you should get back at him and call your ex to say happy birthday! He must still have feelings for her.
