Do not think that dumping your man will solve your problems: it will not. Just enjoy what is left of your current relationship. And if you do dump your man, warn all other placeholders beforehand that retroactive jealousy:
Never. Goes. Away.

 I don't think it's "normal" however to each his own. I personally wouldn't want to know every detail of anything. If you feel uncomfortable talking about your past tell him so. if he doesn't understand that you want it to stay private then you may want to rethink your relationship because it sounds like this conversation i going to keep coming up.

 It's not 'normal' but it's unfortunately quite common. It's a form of obsessive behaviour commonly called 'retroactive jealousy'.
