Is it normal for a guy to talk about his ex girlfriend

Is it normal for a guy to talk about his ex girlfriend? Is it also normal for him to have pictures of her in his wallet and in his room?
VictorM's advice:
Yes, it is normal. If she was a big part of his life, it's unreasonable to expect him to get over her just like that. It's going to take time and talking about her and keeping some pictures of her are part of the getting over process.
See, some guys let go of their exes cold turkey, some do it gradually. I think it's actually a good sign that he does talk about her. It means people in his life aren't trivial. I'd be more worried if she meant nothing at all now.
What you do want to see over time is a decrease of such talk, and eventually, the disappearance of her pictures. For you, it'll be a good way to tell that you're entering solidly into his life and she's exiting. Just don't expect it to happen overnight.
