Put your cards on the table. Tell her to stop what she is doing or you will walk out. That is the only way you will find out how much you mean to her.

If she said no ex's only friends, then her calling them all friends sounds a bit convenient for her. While in some cases people remain great friends with some ex's I do not feel like keeping in touch with a lot of them is fair to the new relationship. You need to talk to her, you say you think she has a need, find out what this need is and how you can fulfill it so she does not need all of her ex's. In the end if she can't stop contact with most of them and you can't feel safe in the relationship, you may have to face that it is not meant to be. But I definitely would not end it without trying to figure out why she is doing it and if she can give them up for you. Good luck.
