Wow.  There's so much wrong with this on every facet, that I don't know where to start.

 

Whilst it is indeed fortunate that some people can remain friends with their exes, it's a little bit weird to have so much contact with one, in such a manner, especially where there is mockery going on about YOUR feelings about the matter. He might have been the one to end their relationship, but it strikes me that perhaps he is still very dependent on her for many things, perhaps more dependent than he ought to be.

 

You are naturally and very obviously battling some intense emotions, and I would necessarily call that jealousy, more than I would call it distress an anxiety. It's one thing to have a relationship with an ex on a good sitting, but it's quite another to carry on having one at the expense of your current partner's intense discomfort. I have never been one for trying to manipulate, or telling a loved one what to do, but if he is putting his relationship with HER before his relationship with YOU, then there's a problem.  You should be his priority, not her. The length of time he was with her, should have no bearing on that priority with you.  If he thinks it does, then that's also a problem.
