Ok. First off I'm going to say that I want honest opinions, as if you were in my position. Aight

I've been dating my current boyfriend for a month and a half now. We are super happy together. Recently a friend of mine pulled me aside and told me I had to break up with him. Obviously I'm like "hell to the no!" That was..until she told me why. She is friends with his ex and apparently when she told his ex that he's dating someone new. His ex admitted that he (my bf) had been manipulative and physically abusive towards her. Hearing that I kinda freaked out. I haven't seen him super angry before so I can't say I know he's not like that. The thing is he does not seem like the type of person that is like that. I don't know what I should do. Should I talk to him about it???
