A guy that hits you once will seldomn stop there. Part of the abuse is the promise to stop. I would not give him another chance and find someone else. Speaking from experience, he'll hit you again, say he's sorry, promise not to do it again, act like Prince Charming, and then he'll find another reason to hit you again. That is the cycle of abuse.
