Is it normal to still care about your ex?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to still care about your ex, even after a breakup. Caring about them doesn’t necessarily mean you want to get back together.
A relationship can matter to you even when it’s over, so feelings often stick around for a while. You might still hope they’re doing well, miss parts of what you had, or feel a pang when something reminds you of them.
People handle breakups differently, and there’s no set deadline for moving on. Just try to notice whether staying in touch or checking up on them is helping you—or keeping you stuck. You can care about someone and still choose distance.
