After almost 3 years is it still normal to think about my ex?

Long story short
I thought I met "the one" when I was in college. We dated for 2 years, and it used to really annoy me when he watched sports (he watched sport religiously, like he would blow me off to watch sport, even if we hadn't seen each other in a month he chose sport over me).

We broke up and then got back together, he did the same thing so, I bailed. I KNOW the relationship would not work out and I would be unhappy if I stayed with him. He was the first guy I ever really loved though (When we first me I literally cried with happiness, how lame?)

That was in 2009/early 2010

I've since met a great guy, who I love and want to marry but I think about my ex CONSTANTLY, even though I know it would never work out (ha there were more issues that JUST watching sport, trust me)

Is this even a tiny bit normal?

    I had a first like that as well, except he would watch movies and play video games with his brothers or be studying on the computer. He also worked part-time as well. But same issue it felt like it would be months before we'd get to go out and do something together (we lived together with his family) Even then, I'd have to pester him about doing something together.
    In the end I became really annoyed with it, so I left and went to a friends place and eventually moved out on my own.
    But even now after I think 2 and a half years I still think about him, though in a friendly "i wonder what he's doing now" way. And I could only say it is becuase you have such an emmotional attatchment to this person and even though you don't want to be part of their life, what happens to them still matters.

    If it's not affecting your current relationship and feelings aren't growing back, then no. There's nothing you should worry about.
