Is it normal to talk to your exes?

Depends.It depends

Yes, it’s normal to stay in touch with an ex, though how comfortable that feels depends on the breakup and your current relationships. The important part is being honest and keeping boundaries that work for everyone involved.

Plenty of people stay friendly with an ex, especially if they share friends, kids, or a long history. Others prefer a clean break, and that’s normal too—there’s no universal rule about how much contact an ex should get.

It tends to work best when the breakup is genuinely behind you and you’re clear about what the contact means. If you or a current partner feels uneasy, an honest conversation about boundaries is more useful than pretending nobody has feelings about it.
