Is it normal that my boyfriend...

My boyfriend and his ex dated for two years, and they broke up because she couldn't handle a long distance relationship since he was moving back to California from Utah. He tried to get her back many times, and then we met. Our relationship is very rocky at times, but he tells me I'm the love of his life and that we will get married.
They talk every now and then, and when they talk I get upset because I'm afraid he's going to leave me for her, and then we argue over them talking. He doesn't respond to her anymore, but she still texts him. Is it normal for me to be jealous and worry about this? We have been together for a year and a half...and I want to spend the rest of my life with him but I don't want to live in fear forever.
I should also mention that while we were apart for 3 months (took a break) he tried to get back together with her but she was dating someone. They talked all the time, and she did lead him on a little. He says he's really over her...but he said that before and then did that when we took a break.
Help!!!

    Get away from this guy & trust ur gut. You don't wanna live in fear for the rest of ur life. And if when u guys took a break he tried to get back with her he is nowhere near over her. He just distracts himself from her and tries to forget about her. Easier sed than done

    His father was ill and we were constantly arguing so he moved home to California after living with me for a year in Pennsylvania. After 3 months he finally came back.
    And I can't talk to the girl because we hate eachother.

    It really depends what happened during that break. Why you even had a break and who asked for it?

    Well I kinda moved to Cali from Pennsylvania to be with him, and we live together. So that makes things even more complicated...

    He's stuck on her, no matter what he tells you, he still wants her, he might even be in denial about it, but you should definitely make a clean break.

    Ouchhh. I'm sorry girl. But you are the back-up girl. He will stay with you until he gets what he wants. (Her) Leave that mofo. He doesn't even consider your feelings.

    "we break up and he tries to get back with her." he obviously will always want her, she just hasnt been available.

    He sounds like a lying douche who just wants someone with him. He was in a relationship for two years so after the break up he was probably not used to being alone. And he got with you as 2nd choice. It seems like he's still stuck on his ex

    when your guy tries to make things up with his ex gf during that "break period" with you its obvious that he is not over her..i have a friend who is in the same situation as you..her bf told her he is just protecting himself in case anything happens to their relationship he still has someone to love..

    It's hard to know what to do...I really love him, and don't wanna give up. But I also don't wanna be the backup girl. Ya know?
