Is it normal to miss your ex after a year?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to miss your ex even a year after a breakup. Missing them doesn’t necessarily mean you should get back together or that you haven’t moved on.

A year can feel like a long time, but there’s no deadline for missing someone who mattered to you. Memories, lonely stretches, anniversaries, or a song that ambushes you in the grocery store can bring the feelings back.

You can miss parts of the relationship—or the person they were to you—while still knowing the breakup was right. What matters more is whether the feeling is easing with time and whether it’s keeping you from living your life. You don’t have to do anything about it just because you miss them.
