If it were me - I would respond, but not at length or in great detail. I would just write back something about forgiveness and growth and my own willingness to move forward together. I do think it would take some care to come across as open and vulnerable, but not arguing or desperate.

It seems positive to me that he is exploring how things got to this point and feeling regret for it. Lots of WAS say it is over, it is too late and yet do find their way back to a reconciliation. Work and family life do tend to get in the way of spontaneous weekend escapades - that's just reality, but I don't see any reason why those competing demands couldn't be worked out in a healthy way with discussion and compromise. I wouldn't want "it is too late" to be the last word.
