He does anything and everything for me. He talks to his old high school girlfriend on the phone once in awhile, about a few times a year. They only talk on the phone and they never hang out in person. He told me that when they were in high school, they knew that they were better off as friends then dating, so they remained friends. In high school, they never had sex, but they did fool around. He has never hidden anything from me, I know all of his passwords and he doesn't care if I look at his phone. When they talk, they talk about random stuff and he talks about how much he loves me. The friend even asks when he is going to marry me. She also has a boyfriend that she has been seeing for 6 years. So is it okay that they talk on the phone once in awhile?

 My husband does. He talk to his ex wife maybe once a month, his highschool sweetheart (who is married too btw) maybe once or twice a month. Usually it's texting back and forth one/two days a week and it's never anything sexual, sensual or negative.
I think it's highly possible that they went from being romantically interested in each other to just being acquaintances who talks occasionally.
I agree with Wise, he doesn't NEED your permission to talk to her.

I'm not sure why you're asking this question? He doesn't need your permission. You explain in detail how innocent it is.
He isn't your husband; which would give you reason for some concern. He only speaks to her once in a while. That is totally acceptable. Apparently, it isn't for you!
Put a lid on the jealous insecurity.

Some of us are lucky to be able to remain 'friends' after a break up, quite often that doesn't work, but you said yourself what a great guy your boyfriend is and it's clear he just cares about all the people in his life, including his friend/ex from school that he occasionally calls for a catch-up.
