after they broke up with u and u found out they cheated on u. do they contact you afterward to say sorry or they just never contact u again?
I can think of two who did.
The first was some years after the event. I'd not spoken to her or seen more than a passing glance of her since. In fact I barely recognised her (She had bloated!) She turned up on my doorstep out of the blue with her fiancee. I was introduced, we chatted a bit and I invited them in. Whilst I was making them coffee she came through to the kitchen, and told me she had always regretted our "breaking-up," hugged me and asked if we could still "have something" together. I didn't need to pause for thought and had no qualms at all about saying - no-way!
The other was more difficult. This was my ex-fiancee, she had a breakdown and got into a mass of self-destructive behaviour. To the point where she told me she'd been cheating on me and I said I'd had enough, packed-up and left. We were living together but thankfully I'd not quite given-up my own house, so at least I had somewhere to go! A couple of weeks later, my housephone rang and a whimpering voice on the line said "can I come home now" - So I said yes. She was in a bad way psychologically but seemed to stabilise over the next few days & started seeing her medics, so I let her stay. Then she rallied and became like her old (good) self again, became very apologetic and I made the mistake of agreeing to give it another go. So we cleaned-up the flat and moved back. That lasted just a few months before her troubles started and she really made a mess of herself. There was no going back for me now but within a few weeks she was sending me letters and calling again, so because of her illness and her eventually moving to another town (she stayed a few nights in this period but always got the spare bed), I remained in touch for a few more months and visited regularly. As much for her parents benifit and to try to keep on top of the financial mess she had left us in. Eventually she found some other mug to so I stopped and didn't pick-up/reply any more. I hear occasionally about how she is now and sometimes see her about but I've only once been face to face with her - I just smiled, said hello and walked-on.
