Is it normal to dream of your ex boyfriend every night?

We have been broken up 3 years, and is now marrying his ex before me. We were our first love for 2 years, but some issues of a sexual assault case went awry so he left me for her. I have had many men in between and have settled down seriously with another man and I am really over him until I sleep. Every night since we broke up I always dreamt of him, sex, arguments, cheating, the stuff that makes you question your subconscious, we are friends still and see each other often and talk. I feel like I am supposed to fix loose ends but it feels so late, and I don't see how dreaming of him every night is helping me purge him.

    Just stop seeing him, time will pass and you'll move on.

    Yes it can be normal but its really not healthy. it sounds as if deep down ur not over him but just try to suppress it consciously. its tough since it's been a while since u 2 broke up. u need to start focusing on doing stuff for yourself. show others (& yourself) that u have self esteem and care about yourself enough to invest some work (like going to the gym, eating healthy, studying, etc) u need to rise above and move on.
