How do I respond to this? how would you do it?

Hey,
Just thought I should drop you a line, I wasn't
quite sure what to do after you had hung up on Monday.
I'm really sorry about everything but everything I
have been telling you has been true. Towards the end
of the school year I realize I had been acting
differently towards you--this was the same way in
which I acted towards my ex-boyfriend towards the end
of our relationship and this scared me a lot. Maybe
it was because of the mess with **her roommates name** and I thought it
would get better once we got home. I've lost a lot of
trust these couple of months and it's going to take
some time to get it back. I wish you would have known
me before I came to **Name of College Town**--I was a much
better person who wasn't nearly as selfish. This year
changed me a lot and it wasn't really for the better.
I think I need to get my head back together and right
now probably isn't the best time for me to be in a
relationship because of all that has happened--I know
this is being extrememly selfish but I realize that
the way I was treating you wasn't the best to be doing
either. I know I have hurt you a lot and have made
you wait so long and I am truly sorry. Please know
that your friendship means everything to me. Please
reply to this so that I know that I have the correct E-mail--you don't have to write anything if you don't
want to, just press reply please.

Well, reply. Then say what you feel - if you're sorry she's deciding to slow things down, say that. If you feel she didn't hurt you, say that. If you accept her apology because she did hurt you, say that.

Truth is always good.

Sounds like she is trying to adjust and is trying to be fair. I would reply with my feelings on the matter and let her know, but don't be too harsh... college can't always be easy.

I am sorry, I hope it all works out

To reply or not to reply, that is the question.

End of the day it's your decision.

Can tell she's quite sincere and she's let out how she felt. So, it's okay for you to tell her honestly your thoughts.
