It's definitely not normal...but as long as you DO know and admit it's/he's not real, then your not insane. A word of caution though: you could easily slip over the line from sanity to insanity over time or if you go through something very tough (emotionally, mentally, or even something physical initially, like an accident). Maybe you should take precautions where you have reminders regularly that he is imaginary and not real (as well as important events so you can distinguish what us real and not clearly).
I stand by what I said and would follow that myself if I were in your situation. That being said, I challenge contemporary/popular beliefs are on the definitions and classifications of insanity and sanity. An example would be Nietzsche, I believe it is very likely (and there is evidence) that he actually reintegrated himself with an archetype, instead of just "going insane" towards the end of his life which the majority believe. The majority is usually wrong, and the "follow the herd" mentality is for the weak; the masses, the majority, the plebs, who are unfit to lead, guide, or control society.
