Is it normal i still care about him?

I have this ex. We dated for about a year. We broke up about 4 months ago. I truly think I was in love with him.
Anyway, he left for college and we ended pup growing apart and he cheated on me with a girl he met there and we broke up. We haven't talked much since we broke up. Just a couple little conversations that didn't mean anything.
Even though he did me wrong, I still really care about him. I don't think I would want to be with him again, but I hope for the best for him and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him. I still have pictures and things that remind me of when we were together and I like the memories. It still makes me smile sometimes thinking of how we were and how happy I was with him.
With all of my other exes, I couldn't give a single shit about how their life is ggoing and I never really thought about them or us. I never wanted to save any of the things from them or anything.
I don't really even know where this is going. But is it normal to still care about him even if I don't want to be with him and even though we don't talk anymore? And even after he did me wrong and broke my heart, I still wish the best for him and his life? I dunno it's just confusing to me. I feel like I will always love him, even if I don't want to be with him. It will always be there.
It kinda sucks but whatever.

  • Its normal you were together for a year over that long time you grew attached to him. I think you should give it some time you guys can still be friends.

    It's normal, but you need to begin to take the steps to move on. I know it's hard, I've been there before. You need to realize that what he did was wrong and that the two of you shouldn't be in contact anymore. It's important to forgive, but at some point you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life.

    • It's not really that I'm not over him. I think I am. Like he has a new girlfriend and it doesn't bother me. She's pretty and I'm happy for him. And I'm not hung up on him, I know we aren't meant to be, and I'm just waiting for the right one to walk in to my life. It's just I know i still have love for him, somewhere in me I do still love him. I think I always will. Even though I don't want to be with him. It's just there .

            Because you sound like an honest dedicated wholesome person. Intimacy follows.
