Is it normal that my girlfriend is good friends with her ex?

Ever since my girlfriend broke up with her boyfriend (soon after we started dating), they've still been really good friends and kept in touch regularly. She says that she just needs closure with him since they broke up and we got together so quickly and closure means a meaningful friendship.

He now has a girlfriend, but my gf recently informed me that they had had a conversation where they both thought they could easily see themselves getting back together in the future.

Now, we're making a trip with a couple of friends for 3 days and she's already set aside a day to hang out only with him.

I should also add that it would be "easier" to be with him than with me because it would make her parents (who have a great influence on her) a lot happier. And it would avert a lot of social pressures, as we are two girls in a romantic relationship. She says she loves me but can't help to think that a relationship with him would be less challenging and stressful.

Should I be insulted that she goes between the two of us in her head or/and worried about their friendship developing into something more?

    Let her be. I am still friends with an ex and don't have any sexual or romantic thoughts about them. We didn't work that well as a relationship, when we were going out we behaved more like friends who screw than an actual relationship.

    We both know we're not right for each other, but we also can't deny how well we get along. I'm very happy in another relationship with no want to stray from it for any reason.

    I think what she said is horrible and thoughtless. You don't tell your girlfriend, hey you're just temperary. No, it seriously sounds like she is regretting her decision. I would stay away from someone who disregards my feelings like that. Very selfish...

    Yes, it is quite normal to go back to Ex friend or husband.You know a person won't get related to someone untill she/he is not fully satisfied with all aspects. Now what happens when they breakaway?! tehre is a matter which is just momentery one and the differ on it.The discusion goes beyond the control and endlich they part away. slowly slowly when they become calm and rational, they feel the same feelings of liking each other.
    In my opinion its the case with your GF too.And its quite normal. You must accept it if you like that friend.
