Relapse after 2 months clean

Roast me so that I don't relapse again.

I drank a damn Monster Zero.

But the good point is : I'm feeling dizzy , erratic , and anxious. Which means I don't tolerate coffein at all anymore after 8 years of having 5-8 cups per day .

Ex wished me happy birthday after 3 years of silence. Why now?

Hey everyone,

I’m a bit confused and could use some outside perspective.

My ex and I broke up about 3 years ago. After the breakup, I tried multiple times to reach out and fix things, but she would either leave me on read or just not respond at all.

It is her who dumped me out of nowhere after 8 years because she wanted to jump quickly into a new relationship with a new guy she got a crush on. Well to be fair our life plan were not aligned. But still, the method was brutal and merciless. She basically told me you have one month to go. She never accepted to discuss, walled herself in silence, all her emotions were gone.

Eventually, I accepted it and stopped trying. Since then, we’ve had basically zero contact.

Now out of nowhere, after all this time, she messaged me to wish me a happy birthday.

No explanation, no real conversation, no apologies , no follow up question, just that.

And honestly, it messed with my head a bit.

I don’t understand why she would do this after ignoring me for so long when I actually cared and tried. Why now, when I’ve finally moved on ?

Part of me is curious, part of me is annoyed, and part of me feels like it’s kind of unfair. Gross and an act of indignity to be honest. Because how can you come back in the picture like that, challenging my healing and my efforts?

So I guess my questions are:

Why would someone do this after years of silence?

Is this just breadcrumbing / checking if I’m still there?

Should I respond, ignore it, or keep it short and polite?

I don’t want to reopen old wounds, but I also don’t want to overreact.

Would really appreciate your thoughts.

I don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s a Taurus thing, but I feel like I never really forget my exes.

Even after a long time, they still cross my mind pretty often. Not necessarily in a “I want them back” way, but more like they left a permanent mark. Meanwhile, I can cut off friends I’ve known for years if they disappoint me, and I won’t even look back.

It’s like romantic connections go way deeper for me than friendships, even if logically it doesn’t always make sense.

Anyone else feel like this? Is it a Taurus trait or just a personality thing?

Also , my rising is Scorpio , and my moon is Pisces , if it gives any more clues.
