Is it normal to be jealous of your partner’s exes?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal to feel jealous of your partner’s exes sometimes. What matters is how you handle the feeling—not whether you never have it.
Exes can bring up comparisons, insecurity, or worries that your partner still has feelings for someone else. Even if the relationship is firmly in the past, your imagination can make it feel like you’re competing with a highlight reel you never got to see.
Lots of people feel this now and then. It’s worth paying attention if the jealousy starts driving constant questioning, checking, or rules about who your partner can talk to. You can tell your partner what’s bothering you and ask for reassurance without treating their past as something they need to apologize for.
