Mistrust in new relationship after abuse

I have been out of an abusive relationship for 2 years and recently met someone. They are kind, caring, treat me so well and I haven't, so far seen any 'red flags' except that he seems to feel very strongly about me after only a couple of months.
We can talk for hours, I'm so comfortable in his company and he makes me feel so safe. BUT..... he only came out of a long relationship about 4 months before we started dating. And I find that I'm constantly waiting for the Ex to come back into the picture even though he has reassured me so many times he does not love her and is completely finished with the relationship. I haven't seen/heard him say anything that would indicate otherwise.
Do you think this is me as I'm find it very hard to trust people (outside of my old friends and family). I keep thinking I'm being pulled in only for him to 'do something'. Only I don't know what.

I know I haven't really made any sense but if there's anyone out there who went through similar worries after an abusive relationship I would really appreciate some thoughts.
