Is it normal that I keep checking to see if he contacted me?

I've been no contact with my ex for 5 days now and I know he will never contact me again but I keep checking. is the normal? he was a horrible person and hurt me so so much and yet my brain is still wired to recieve communication from him.

when you check, is it out of hope or just habit? noticing that can help break the cycle a little.

its both I guess. mostly hope. I want him to feel regret and remorse for what he did to me. I want him to realise how much pain he caused me. I can't eat or sleep and I'm barely functioning as a person. I have exams now and I can't even focus

I want this pain to stop but I don't know how. I hate him and everything he did to me and yet I am still yearning for some sort of apology or regret from his side. I want him to realise how much he hurt the person who loved him the most

yes! id say block him. my train of thought blocking him was this: id rather him wanting to contact me and not being able to, that him being able to but don't wanting to contact me. the 2nd choice hurt way more. now idk if he wants to reach out or not, and it doesn't matter anymore

yes is normal. you were used to receive those messages everyday. now you need to get used to a new routine without him.
