Is it normal that he tried to stay friends with her?

This is a long story so if you have the time read this.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 years now. Shortly before we dated, his ex girlfriend kept an eye on us and tried to play a mind game with us.(Keep in mind that his ex girlfriend was horrible to him while they dated and really fucked him over and they have known each other for a while, so they have some history)

Since we have been dating she has continuously tried to get back together with him, suggested things to him such as taking her on a date, and said things in to me in an attempt to get to me and get me to break up with him. Not only for the fucked up things she did to him, I do not like her because we used to be friends and she has fucked me over as well and I have no respect for her. The reason he said he is keeping ties with her is because he doesn't want to stoop down to her level and she's not worth being mad over. She doesn't talk to him as much as she used to, but she occasionally calls him and mentions him at least once everytime I see her. He has not cheated on me, he is completely faithful,cares about me, and does not go out of his way to talk to her, but I just don't understand, Is it normal that he didn't cut the ties and stop talking to her?

    Sorry but he's a fool.

    As my gran always said, Never go looking for trouble, it will find you!
    This is all he's doing by even associating with her.

    It seems to me that he's trying to be nice he probably feels bad for her because she has stooped so well. Don't be upset with your boyfriend, he is nice enough to still talk to his ex who sounds like a complete brat.

    Maybe he feels guilty and still wants to be her friend. He does not want to date her but possibly feels bad if he would ignore her. He should cut her off since she is just making trouble. I would not be sure how to go about confronting him on the issue. Though if she has asked him multiple times to cheat with her well she seems pretty determined to break you up.
