If they're worth being in a relationship with, they'll try and understand and be as supportive as possible. My partner and I were both very open with each other at the start of our relationship and in the end that's one of the things that has really helped us to grow. My partners past was something that she'd only ever told her therapist, mother, and best friend about before she told me. I am still so grateful to get for trusting me and I always will be.
Anyone worth their salt would at least show compassion and love when their partner shares their past with them, and I think that's what you've got to hold onto when sharing your history. My girlfriend was a saviour to me when I told her about all my baggage, and I hope that your partner will be equally supportive :)
