So, a year ago my ex cheated on me after a year of dating. I broke it off and he denied any wrongdoing. It took me a while but I learned that it wasn't about me and I've since moved on. However, two days ago I get a message from him and he's apologizing and asking for my forgiveness. He's recently joined the military and he said he said he just wants my forgiveness and that he'd like me to reply if I feel comfortable. He's on my blocked list so I'm not even sure how the e-mail came through. However, I'm not sure if I should respond. I mean after all he's still with the girl he cheated on me with and although I've moved on I'd like to just be done with him. However, I know that forgiveness is key. So, should I at least tell him that I forgive him or just not respond?

I think perhaps you should respond and tell him that you forgive him (only if you do). In this way, you will have peace of mind, and so will he. Once you forgive him, and he knows you forgive him he has no other reason to keep in contact with you, should you choose to not be friends. Forgiveness is the last step if you want to be done with him. Otherwise there will always be unfinished business. Good luck!

This world is not perfect and men will continue to make mistake after mistake. He is not asking to get back with you just for forgiveness of his wrong doing. How would you feel if on judgement day you ask for forgiveness, and Jesus denies you?
Don't hold it against him. Life teaches nothing, but lessons.

We, as social creatures, crave and desire closure. If you respond to his e-mail, immediately set the ground rules for the contact and any future contact. If he is sincere about his apology, accept it graciously and then either move on or see where this friendship goes.

My first thought is perhaps he's being shipped out, and wants to make amends to e/one b4 he leaves. Let him know you accept his apology, and leave it at that. What could be the harm?
