Okay. I used to date this guy two years ago and after about 2 months of seeing each other (i thought we were both in love), he suddenly disapeared. He stopped calling me, didn't pick up his phone when I called. After about two weeks of silence, he called me one day and asked how I was doing. Before I could say anything, I burst into tears and started asking questions like "why didn't you call me" and stuff (that was so uncool but i could not help it...). He didn't say anything specific, just kept listenting and I don't remember how the conversation ended. Then later on I heard he had been seeing another woman, which was why he cut me off.

Generally he is not a jerk, so I just assumed he was not that into me, got over the whole thing and went on with my life. Thing is, during this whole time since we broke up, we were always around each other because of mutual friends and work. So every now and then (every 6-9 months happy.gif) he would try to sit me down to talk about our past and apologise for being an AH to me.

But I would sort of ignore those attempts and pretend I didn't know what he was talking about. (Except that crying thing over the phone, I never talked to him about how hurt I was by him and did all I could to seem like I didn't give a damn that we broke up). So it's been two years like that, we're not at all close as friends but run into each other almost everyday at work and sometimes we hang out together with the same group of friends.

During the past two weeks, he has been trying extra hard on his attempts to apologize and talk to me about the past. I don't wanna talk about it, but he keeps on alluding to it whenever we are alone together (while hanging out with friends). So here's something I totally don't understand. Why would a guy want to apologise so much? Why would he even bring up the fact that we once used to go out and that he was a "jerk" (his word) to me?

Tell him that you forgive him (if you do).
Or let him know that it doesn't bother you anymore (if it doesn't).
Uh... or you can say "It was in the past, let's let it stay in the past." or something like, "I am over it now" since you are. :]

I think he just feels guilty but he's going at it the wrong way. I think you feel that you don't need any apologies or anything- since it was two YEARS ago but yeah.

If you think you can, you should try to tolerate him and just listen to what he has to say? :]

I would just tell him that past is the past and that you would like to live for the present. Just tell him that you have already forgiven him in your mind, you accept his apologies, and move on. Maybe he is honestly wanting your forgiveness, but to me he might be regretting the fact that he did what he did and he realizes how foolish of him for letting you go.

After you accept his apologies, if he still nags at you about the past, that means he is trying to relive the past and hoping that he has a chance with you again by gauging where your mindset is at regarding your feeling for him IMO.

He genuinely feels bad for what he did to you.

Why not let him apologize?

Thank you guys so much for the advice. I guess I was just too caught up with running away/avoiding him that I didn't see what I obviously should do: just friggin hear him out! Thanks again!
