Is it normal to fantasize about an ex?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, fantasizing about an ex is common and doesn’t automatically mean you want to get back together. Your mind can revisit familiar people and memories, even after a relationship has ended.
An ex may show up in your fantasies because you shared closeness, attraction, or a lot of memorable experiences. Sometimes it’s about the person; sometimes your brain is borrowing a familiar face for a passing thought. It doesn’t have to mean anything deeper.
