I dated this woman for two years. Like any relationship, it had ups and downs. One day she abruptly and brutally ended things. I was in deep pain for a long time. Eventually, I got used to being around her as we are in the same religious group. We have been cordial and respectful to each other. I just assumed that the past would never be spoken about and accepted that there would be no closure or resolution. She's an attractive woman and has been with many guys since me. I just thought that our connection just wasn't that important to her. I thought she didn't care. On New Year's Day, she gave me a card. In it, she deeply apologized for the pain that she caused me. She expressed how she appreciates me and hopes we can renew our friendship. I was completely surprised and stunned. Initially, I felt a sense of validation and relief. However, I didIn't expect to start reliving all of the pain and frustration of the past. It all resurfaced. I even had a hard time sleeping. I don't want to ever get back with her. It's just the experience of raw heart pain. I try to imagine what a friendship with her would even look like. How do you think I should respond?
