Do not go back to this man. Once a man hits you, it gets easier and easier for him to do it again. The fact that he hit you the first tiime proves that he is a woman abuser. The only way that you could come to trust him is for him to attend anger control classes or seek counseling. Promises are easy to make but harder to keep with an abusive man. This could become a really dangerous situation for you, both physically and emotionally. Once he beats all of your self esteem out of you, then you'll be facing a lifetime of abuse. Is this really how you want to spend the rest of your life? Get out and stay out while you're ahead unless he agrees to go to counseling and sticks with it. He has problems that you can't solve. Tears from a man like this are what one considers to be crocodile tears. BEWARE
