Is it normal to love your ex?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to still love your ex, even after a breakup. Love can linger without meaning you should get back together or that you’re failing to move on.

A breakup ends the relationship, but it doesn’t instantly switch off your feelings. You may still care about your ex, miss what you shared, or feel love for them while also knowing the relationship wasn’t right for you.

People handle this differently: some stay fond of an ex, while others need distance before those feelings soften. What matters is whether holding on is keeping you stuck or making it hard to respect the breakup and its boundaries. You can love someone and still choose not to be with them.
