Is it normal to think about an ex?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s completely normal to think about an ex, even after you’ve moved on. Remembering someone doesn’t automatically mean you want them back.
An ex was part of your life, so your brain may bring them up when something reminds you of them—or just because memories pop in at random. Lots of people think about past partners now and then, even when they’re happy with someone new or perfectly content being single.
What matters more is how those thoughts affect you. A passing memory is just a passing memory; if you’re constantly comparing new partners to your ex or feeling stuck and miserable, it may help to look at what you still need to process.
