Is it normal to really miss your ex?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to really miss your ex, even if the breakup was the right choice. Missing them doesn’t automatically mean you should get back together.

Breakups take away more than a person: you might miss the routines, the inside jokes, or having someone who knew your day-to-day life. Those feelings can show up even when you know the relationship wasn’t working, and they often come in waves.

You don’t have to treat missing your ex as a sign that you made a mistake. Give yourself room to feel it, and try to judge whether reconnecting makes sense by looking at why you broke up—not just how lonely or nostalgic you feel today.
