<human>: We've been friends for over a year and have been considering a romantic relationship for a month or two. Last year, I was in a really terrible relationship. He knew that my ex and I had extensive issues, but it runs a little deeper than I told him at the time. In truth, my ex was emotionally and occasionally physically abusive. I'm in counseling now to deal with some of the leftover baggage. In any case, I don't know if I should give him more information, or if he should be getting full disclosure of my issues, etc. If so, how do I bring that up?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I had a bad past relationship and have some issues. Does a new SO need to know, and how should I approach it if he does?
