Is it normal to text your ex?

Depends.It depends

Yes, texting an ex is pretty common, but whether it’s a good idea depends on why you’re reaching out and how it affects you both.

People text exes for all kinds of reasons: practical loose ends, friendship, nostalgia, or because they miss the connection. There’s no universal rule that you have to stop talking once a relationship ends.

The useful question is how it feels afterward. If you’re both comfortable and clear about what the messages mean, it may be fine. If texting keeps reopening the breakup, feeds false hope, or causes trouble in a current relationship, a little distance may be kinder to everyone.
