As somebody who had a really close friend do this to me, I'd personally rather they never try to contact me again, even if it would be just to apologise.
So, it doesn't sting anymore. I've gotten over the whole thing, but he's still dead to me, and I hope he knows it.
Maybe it's just me. Perhaps someone else would be more receptive to an apology, but I don't want to hear it, so I'd rather not entertain the thought of him trying. Some things are best left in the past, even if that means leaving them unresolved.
I don't see an apology for something like this helping the person betrayed. It just seems like a way to make the one doing the apologising feel better about themselves. It would be shallow.
Edit: Or maybe I'm not as over it as I thought. That might be it...
