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?
Decide whether or not you want to have a friendship with her. Me personally from an emotional standpoint I wouldn’t bother with her. Everyone deserves to have closure, people are just to scared most of the time to actually tell the other person the real reasons because it might make them look bad, or they might not want to hurt feelings, or sometimes they just do not care. In my opinion, those types of people are just cowards.
Fact is that you are stating that you wanted the closure but you did not receive it. You moved on as any person would. Now that she has all of a sudden decided that she wants you back in her life, even if just as a friend in my opinion is just bs. She already showed you the type of person she is. Considering that the message from her stirred up some old emotional stuff, do you really want to put yourself through all of that?
