My ex keeps calling me, and says he wants to try again. The reason why we broke up is because he cheated on me. He says he's sorry and part of me still likes him, but I don't want my heart broken again. What should I do?

Dear Anonymous,
Personally, I am not one to give a second chance to someone who deliberately steps out on a relationship, as it is a sign of disrespect and a violation of trust -- enough that I call cheaters grand douchebags. Furthermore, getting back together in a relationship would be a strain. Unless you truly forgive him, there will be a lingering question in the back of your mind if he's doing it again.
However, I admit there are several factors to consider that I'm not aware of based on the letter, and it depends on the circumstances behind the infidelity. Did the affair go on for an extended period of time (compared to only one time)? Is the other woman an important person in his life (compared to a random woman he recently met)? Did he cheat before in the past with you, or another woman? Does this seem like a contrived plot to get back to you (compared to being a sincere apology)?
If the answer to any of those questions is yes, I recommend keeping your distance and not to answer his calls.
