Dear June:

It makes sense to trust a man who is trustworthy and to not trust a man who is not trustworthy.

He betrayed you in the past and ghosted you. Following such experiences there has to be much improved communication to follow, empathy and regret on his part: empathy for you hurting and regret for him having caused that hurt.

Without improved communication and empathy and regret on his part, I don’t think it is a good idea to resume a relationship with him.
