This. If this girl feels as strongly for you as you seem to feel for her, then she should be be able to decide whether she's up for the fight, or whether she wants you to keep it away from her. Who knows, she may be one of those strong chicks that just loves a challenge from the bitch ex
Either way, don't sell her short - she's probably a lot more thick-skinned than you think. Tell her what you told us about the ex so she knows what to expect.
And like Gridlock says, if you're planning to have a REAL relationship with this person, then you need to be able to tell her everything - the good AND the bad. If you've made mistakes in the past... OWN THEM. If she's the right one, she'll still love you anyway - after all, these things are in the past, they're part of who you are.
