Will you forgive someone who disappeared on you?

I met a guy earlier this year and we got along really well to the point that we reached a mutual understanding. Meaning, it's not "us" but we had an agreement that we'll get there soon. He made so many promises and, much against my will, I ended up hoping. More than a month later, he disappeared for a number of days, resurfaced on the fourth, apologized and then disappeared again for more than 2 months. It took me a week or two to come to terms with his behavior and forgive myself for my wrong judgment. I decided to carry on and stop looking back. Had he really wanted us to be together, he'd have made an effort to contact me. I have been my normal self these past few months, hardly giving him a thought. However, last week I received an email from him. He said a lot of things happened in his life but he'll explain later. There was another half-baked apology and then a demand for my "reply." He just added insult to injury. Right now, I really do not know how to deal with him. I have forgiven him to some degree but it's not yet 100%. I still hurt every time I read his emails and I cannot pretend it's okay. Would you forgive someone who just disappeared on you without warning?
