Is it normal to miss someone you broke up with?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to miss someone after a breakup, even if you were the one who ended things. Missing them doesn’t automatically mean the breakup was a mistake or that you should get back together.

A breakup ends the relationship, not your feelings or the routines you built together. You might miss the person, the comfort of having someone around, or simply the familiar parts of your life—and those feelings can come and go for a while.

It’s also possible to miss someone and still know the relationship wasn’t right for you. Try not to treat every wave of longing as a sign you need to act on it; give yourself time to feel it and remember why you broke up.
