Swiss Ex-girl/boy friends- Norms

• I have been with my husband for over twenty years, and we have three kids. Prior to us he had a Swiss girl friend for maybe 5 1/2 years. The woman insists on keeping in touch with him. She is now married and has kids as well. This year she came to visit. She and her small children came about 4 days ahead of her husband and stayed at my house. And it just so happened that I had to be away for work most of those days, it did not feel good. I did not think anything of it, and I am not sure that I should think anything of it. But after they left I discovered that she and my husband had been communicating via e-mail quite often. I found that her letters were too familiar. She would demand that my husband writes to her quicker and that he answers all her questions. On one letter she suggested that they meet for a couple of days to talk about their experiences they had together. On another she asked if it was “possible” that they (her and my husband) communicated with each other more openly. My husband and I had gone to her wedding and there were 5 or 6 ex-boyfriends there all lining up with her for pictures. But her husband did not have any ex-girlfriends there. Since discovering these hundreds of e-mails I have communicated my displeasure to my husband and I think he understands my point of view. However my question is, is this normal for Swiss girls to stay friends and keep in close contact with their ex-boyfriends?
