Search Results: forgiving an ex

Hi y'all,

My dream girl and I broke up after dating for 3 years about 8 years ago. I... did not take it well. I reached out to her about from every different type of method you could think of. She had to block my phone, emails, facebook, insta, Skype, whatever. So what did I do? I MADE DUMMY ACCOUNTS TO KEEP CONTACTING HER!
I probably went on for 1.5 years doing this. Not frequently mind you, but probably about once a month I would reach out to her again, hoping she had forgiven me. Less and less frequently.

I haven't tried to talk to her in ages now, probably 4-6 years since my last attempt. And while I never made any physical attempt to contact her... never tried to see her in person... as I become more "woke" in the face of MeToo, I can't help but think that maybe.. I crossed a line. Maybe.. I scared her, made her feel unsafe, made her feel like she had a stalker.

In my head I believed that if I could just get her attention.. I could explain to her everything. All I wanted to do was talk! And I wanted that more than anything.

Lately I've been feeling bad about it, and I want to send her one last note apologizing for going crazy on her. Not to ask for forgiveness per say, I don't think she owes me that, but just to give her peace of mind that she never has to deal with me again.

I'm not in a bad place in life. I have a very loving girlfriend and I've dialed down my obsessive tenancies. I just want to right prior wrongs, but I recognize that maybe... saying nothing would let an old wound continue to heal.

If you was bullied by someone physically or/and mentally for a period of your childhood, and then a couple of years later they apologise and the initial meeting they apologised at went well and you spoke and thought they were actually decent after that conversation would you be able to forgive and befriend them?
