So on Wednesday while I am sitting in class I receive a text from my ex boyfriend. I have not seen him in 3 months and we have been broken up for 2 months. He has a new girlfriend right now and I'm not sure if they are still together. He wrote me asking about something that had happened between us a year ago. There was a rumor that got started saying that I cheated on him.. which I did not. When he heard about it I told him that I didn't and when he wrote me accusing me again I told him the same thing... he ended up going on about how it was eating him up inside. He also mentioned that he is trying to become a better person and that it kills him inside to know that he treated me so badly when we were together. He says that he wishes he could take it back and wish he would have been honest with me and was not worried about himself that even though he may have lost me it would not be the way it is today. He asked me what he could do to make things right and that he did not want me hating him. He said he was so sorry about hurting me the way he did. He says he does not hate me. He has currently lost his job and can barely pay for his bills or rent.. when we were together I made sure he was taken care of. I gave him money for everything. Im not sure why he is writing me all of a sudden especially when the situation happened so long ago and we are not even together anymore.. can someone help me out?!

There are times in our lives when we think about people in our pasts for various reasons. He could be genuinly sorry and appologetic, he could want your support while he's going through a hard time, he could want you back. Tell him you forgive him and that you're sorry to here he's lost his job and that you hope he finds happiness soon if he hasn't already. If he wants you back and you want that too then he needs to know that trusting you is a big issue for you and even though you've forgiven him, he was still in the wrong to doubt you before doubting others.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
