Is it normal to never speak to an ex again?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to never speak to an ex again. Some people prefer a clean break, while others stay in touch; neither choice is automatically better.

After a breakup, you don’t owe your ex an ongoing friendship or regular check-ins. No contact can make it easier to move on, protect your peace, or keep a painful relationship from taking up space in your life. Lots of people never speak to an ex again, even if the relationship once mattered a lot.

Other people stay friendly, especially when they share kids, friends, or practical responsibilities. The right amount of contact is whatever feels respectful and workable for both of you—not a test of whether the relationship was meaningful.
