Well.......

It sounds to me like you've already made up your mind. I think you've decided you no longer want him in your life and want to make that cut.

And, that's not as silly as it sounds. If he was a real friend, he would've known if you were unhappy, and at least made an effort to change that. You say you found out from other sources that he's sorry and all that. How good are the sources? Why can't he tell you himself?

Sometimes people do change, and we need to move on. But, it's wise not to leave your bridges completely burned..... how about have a few months break from him, give you time to forgive him in your heart before you start out slowly again. An email here, and email there. A phone call once in a while.
Sometimes you need to wipe the slate clean, and start off from scratch - which means EARNING friendship, and EARNING trust.

Just my thoughts!
