We broke up 2 years ago. No contact for the first year. But for the past year, my ex has sent me a happy birthday text and a Merry Christmas text. Nothing else. No "I miss you" or anything deeper. Just the holiday texts. My friends say it means he still has feelings. I think he is just being polite. What do you all think?

Honestly, it could be either. Some people text exes on holidays out of habit or politeness. Others do it as a low-risk way to keep the door open without being vulnerable. The real question is: what do YOU want it to mean? If you want to know his intentions, you could respond warmly and see if he engages further. If you are trying to move on, it is okay to not respond or even block. Your peace matters more than decoding his texts.
