Is it wierd for my ex to keep talking to me about his new girlfriend?

I dated this guy on and off for a couple years ago. He decided he just wanted to be friends. He is now dating another girl that he is head over heels in love with and wants to marry. The thing is, he puts this girl on such a pedistol, and brags about her to me. He say things like "she can have any guy she wants but still wants me so I will do whatever it takes to make it work" and tells me she's like no girl he's ever met, and has never felt this way about anyone. I am not a vindictive person, but I think he should be more sensitive to the fact that he and I have a history and doesn't need to say things like that. It makes me wonder if he is trying to make me feel bad? Am I right?
