Firstly: You shouldn't feel disgusted with yourself because you've done NOTHING wrong whatsoever, and I totally understand how you feel here.
Who really wants their girlfriend/boyfriend talking about their ex all the time? Noone. but the reality is, it does happen quite often. Probably not to make your jealous or even make you upset in the slightest, but it's a past experience, and alot of the time, things remind people of the past and they may want to express it.
There isn't really any way to make yourself feel better, other than to remember:
You've been with this girl for 2 years. That's pretty serious and although the past can't be undone, you need to focus on the present. You are her present and future.
Do try to get it through to her it makes you upset. Have another chat with her. Eventually, it will sink in and she will think before she speaks.
Same happened with me and my ex. All the time he would bring up his ex girlfriend to the extent my friends even began to notice.. but he stopped gradually. and I hope it does with you too.
I know I'm not much help with this matter, just remember it's about you two now. Not the ex's. and you really shouldn't worry or compare yourself to her in ANY way, shape or form.
