How to deal with an ex

Hi,
I really need some girly advice. Both my partner and myself are divorcees. I have a tempestuous relationship with my ex even now. I was the one who left the marriage. My partner, however was the one that was left. When I met my new partner, I was over my ex completely, however, he was not. It really hurt me to see him going through the pain and upset of a divorce. He clearly loved her very much but she broke his heart. I have recently found out that he is still in contact with her via text and email. The messages are not flirty at all, just about how much their lives have changed, she asks lots of questions about us and our life. Sometimes he tells me that they have exchanged emails/texts, but he does not go into detail.
It upsets me to know that they still talk, I don't really know why, it just does. It is beginning to affect my relationship with him. Am I being silly? Is it just hormones? I am 7 months pregnant with our first child together.
All advice and comments welcomed. Thank you.

My husband was with his ex for 18 years, she left him. However I have always felt it would be abnormal if he didn't have feelings. I just accept he is with me now. They also have two children and I would expect them to remain in contact to discuss parenting things.

Yours is being honest and telling you about it, I would be more concerned if he was keeping it secret. Now me and him have been together for 14 years it's not even an issue.

How long have you both been together? Do you or he have any children with your ex's?
