Is it normal to feel uncomfortable that my GF talks to her ex often?
Her ex contacted her a ton. And she definitely make an effort and replies enough to have him keep contacting. I've never seen the texts and snapchats personally, but so far I asked "why is *ex's name* your #3 best friend on snapchat? he isn't bothering you is he?". She replied "nah he just sends me a ton of scenery pictures because he went back to Israel for the military." I trust her and accepted her response and said alright. Yet I know she still talks to him more since then. That was about 5 days ago. Should I confront her and tell her this makes me uncomfortable? I don't want her to get mad. I never get mad at her, but she seems to get mad if I have an issue about something pertaining to her (which is rarely). But I know she wouldn't like it if I talked to my ex.

I wouldn't call it abnormal to feel this way, since I get the reasoning; however, people amicably break up all the time so I wouldn't assume that there is any deeper meaning behind it. Remember, they got together for a reason in the first place, so chances are that they had good chemistry before hand. Not romantic chemistry, mind you, but one based on being friends. Really, I'd evaluate where you two are regardless of her ex and then, if you are satisfied with that, just let it be because it's probably fine.
If you are still uncomfortable, then I'd talk to her and say that it is something that bothers you. I'd be very blunt with why this bothers you and ask for a bit more info on the guy. Perhaps frame it in the way that, if you were still talking with the girlfriend you had prior to her, would she still be concerned? It's too much to try to break the connection; but, perhaps, you can see what that connection is and see that it's not threatening your relationship. I wouldn't be that guy who gets jealous of every male that talks to his girl. I'm so not saying that's you, but exes are something that we instinctively feel the need to inquire about regardless of gender.

Tell her that it's bothering you, and that you feel uncomfortable with her talking to him so much. I mean being her # 3 best friend on Snap Chat should tell you that they talk quite a lot. If she wouldn't like you talking to your ex girlfriend, then she shouldn't be talking to her boyfriend - that's being double standard.
If she won't let you view the messages/texts between the two of them, then she's defiantly hiding something from you that they've been talking about. If she continues to do this after the confrontation then you should probably not be with her (especially if you can't trust her) and if she continues doing something that makes you uncomfortable (that in return would also make her uncomfortable).

honestly it doesnt really sound like theyre doing anything sketchy or that shes still into him, theres plenty of people who are able to stay friends with their exes & nothing inappropriate going on. theyre friends
but, i still see why you feel uncomfortable. if it bothers you that much just (casually) bring it up with her, nonchalantly like you did with the snapchat thing

Tell her this! It'll keep bothering you and driving a wedge until you do.
