Is it normal to bring up past relationships???

My friend who I talk to everyday always seems to incorporate stories about her ex-husband and past relationships into most of our conversations. And quite frankly I'm tired of hearing about them, but she is overly emotional about everything and if I tell her she will probably start crying. Oh and she's only 24. So is it normal for people to talk about exes and past relationships ALL the time???

    I always talk about my exes, but I never divulge where I buried their bodies.

    She trusts you and clearly has these things bottled up. She brings them up often, probably because she hasn't had closure.
    Go for coffee (perhaps somewhere busy, so you can unobviously distract yourself, and let her rant. Get it all out of her, answer any questions briefly and help her get it all out.

    Hopefully this will help her seal out the past and move on.

    Lots of people do this, and often it is a deal breaker for anyone in their future. People should let the past stay in the past as much as possible.
