Do I let an ex back into my life?

[IDKMAN]

We havent spoken in a year since he cheated on me. Then he suddenly talks to me on social media but avoids me in person. I have forgiven (not forgotten) him cheating on me and I don't miss him or want him back, but if he does want to get back into my life, do I let him? A month ago he told the girl he cheated on me with, "You are a slut and you meant nothing to me, I regret you so much. Do you think she will take me back?" But he's been with many girls since that so it's obvious he wasn't thinking seriously. I still dont trust him, but is it okay to be friends with him?

I stopped reading after you said he cheated on you. The answer is no, unless you have extremely low self esteem and zero self respect.
