Wow man

So first. I'm happy its spring. One because my birthday is spring so now I"m excited about how soon it is til I'm older. Second the snow is gone. Third its almost warmer or at least it appears to be. ALSO spirits are up and apparently all of the crazies have come out to play.

Let me propose this question to any male readers. I'm open to female interpretation but obviously the male perspective would be most helpful.
So you break up with a guy. Long term long distance relationship where 50% of the time there were serious problems. So the woman finally leaves because she cannot take it anymore and needs her independence and sanity back. They agree that the break up was inevitable and they should attempt to remain friends after they both cool their jets, seeing as how they had been good friends before. Yet the gentleman in the situation contacts his ex, says they should get together to talk, doesn't call. Same scenario she left for. About 3 months after he was supposed to call to arrange a friends luncheon and about 7 after the break up....out of the blue emails appear. Followed by a phone call proclaiming that they should try friendship again because he is going to give 100% this time blah blah blah.....now there are calls and emails all buddy-buddy.
Now the question is: what is the statue of limitations on the "lets still be friends line"?

Obviously when we broke up it was meant because there hadn't been all of the runaround. So given that the pattern of sporadic contact is setting its stage...and that it was half a world ago that it was said without any fight to be friends then or care about the woman's well being. Does she still have to upkeep her offer after all the heartache and lies she has been subjected to? No even that she is unwilling to be friends because they are exes but that as a friend he has not been a good friend.

Anyways chew it over. Think it out. Advice is always welcome.

I can't even make these stories up I swear.....all based on my own or others experiences. And spring is awesome because apparently it warms people up to interesting thoughts.

Til' we meet again.
