Should i let it slide ?

My boyfriend has anger problems. I'm totally aware, and I love him enough to deal with it. We've been together for almost a year now, and he tries his best to not go "hulk" in front of me. Yesterday, I accidentally spilled wine on his white fur carpet, and he got so mad that he slapped me really hard. My first reaction was to punch him in the face, and then he snapped back into reality. He started apologizing and crying, he said that he would never hit a woman and that it won't happen again.

Do you think I should let it slide ? or break up with him ? I really do love him, and I want to overlook this, but I don't want it to happen again either.

    You have to end it, and I'll tell you why. An angry person is like a drug addict. They tell you they won't do it again, that this time they will change, that they are going to get help. The problem is that even if they get treatment, they can still fall again. That's the case with the angry man and the man that hits his girlfriend. So what if you have a serious argument? Most likely he'll lunch you. Walk away while you can. Be smart, be wise, save yourself and your future.

    Leave your retarded boyfriend and tell him to go to the crazy asylum where he belongs.

    No slides. I've got no problems with hitting a woman if she is attacking but... for a carpet? What'll happen if you scuff his new shoes? God forbid you might happen to step in some dog shit and get it on his upholstery.

    Get out before you get seriously hurt. Getting hit once is all it should take for a gal to get the message. Like most things, once a certain line has been crossed it gets easier and easier to cross it over and over again.
    And don't go crawling back to him if he tells you he has 'changed' a few months down the road.
    Get way and stay away from this one; he's a loser.

    Don't let it slide, that will let him delude himself that either it didn't happen or that it was your fault.

    IF he cares about you he'll get professional help to manage his anger

    That´s usually how the abuse start. He hits you once, gets sad and swears it wont happen again. If he hits you over some silly spill on a carpet you can sadly expect to get beaten again if you don´t run now.
    Has he been abusive before this? controlling?

    Wow, my wife says she has trouble loving me sometimes cos of my depression, despite how I help her out more than most men would AND be a devoted dad too.

    Women, seriously, what is the problem? Do you like having a b**tard on your arm? Is security, love, compassion and stability not enough?

    Clearly not.

    Having volunteered at a shelter for victims of domestic abuse, I have seen what guys like this will eventually do.
    Run!
    GTFO!
    Now!
    Or get ready to join the women at the shelter with black eyes so swollen they can't see and legs, backs and body scarred with welts.

    NO you NEED TO GET OUT OFF THERE! Stay calm. Call the police in a safe space and go to a friends or families home. Hope this gets better x

    Ummm... Duh!! Of course you don't let it slide!!! Anyone who will hit someone over an accident (or for any reason actually) has some problems. Get out before you end up seriously hurt or worse.

    I would say end it, even though he promises to stop, it will happen again because anger is something that is really hard to control. You will end up fighting (hitting/punching etc.) and that is just abuse.

    Who knows ? May be the next one pops out be a anger king. At least he apologized. You can return the favour if he misuse your beloved object.
