This is going to be sort of a rant about something that happened earlier between my boyfriend and me. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it or not, but here goes.

Earlier, I gave him my keys so that he could grab his stuff from my room before class, and apparently the way I did it made it seem like I was angry or something. This is when it all started going downhill. Then, later when we were walking back from class, he ended up speeding off around a group of people, and when I didn't follow, he thought it was because I was angry with him, when in reality, I just don't like walking around people. So then a little bit later, he texts me angrily, asking what's been my problem all day, and I kept telling him nothing, because I was honestly fine. Then I go to his room to grab a notebook, and he stopped me, trying to get me to spit out some information that I didn't have to give, and as I was trying to leave, he grabbed my arms and twisted so hard that I have a long scratch/bruise thing on my right arm. It's not bad, but it scared me because he was so angry and I didn't know why.

Eventually, after I broke down crying from him yelling at me, somehow I made it clear that nothing was wrong, and what had really happened, and he felt really bad about it. And now everything's fine...but it was awful, and I'm hoping it never happens again.

That's my rant. If anyone has any advice for how to avoid this type of situation in the future, I wouldn't mind it. Thanks.

Maybe he's been stressed about something. When we're really mad about something that upsets us, we do things withouth thinking first. If he still loves you, it surely wasn't his intention to hurt you.

You need to let him know that acting violent towards you is NEVER ok, no matter if he's stressed out or not. He can yell all he wants, but when he puts his hands on you and hurts you to the point were it leaves a mark, I think you need to take a step back and evaluate your relationship. If it happened once it can happen again and who knows what he might do next time? If he got this mad over something you didn't do, how mad will he get over something you did do?

It wasn't his intention. But it still wasn't an ideal situation.

I know, but it wasn't intentional. Which honesty freaks me out a little more. It wasn't on purpose, but it still happened, without him even realizing it, so I'm worried that it could happen again.

^^ and you have every right to be, if you want this relationship to continue in a non-violent fashion, you need to talk to him and let him know that he's need to cool it.

All of the above advice, make it very clear that he is not to act violently towards you ever again. You should tell him that if he ever harms you again you'll leave him. I don't know you might think that seems a little harsh, but if he's doing it without even thinking about it you need to be crystal clear. Be careful it doesn't develop into an abusive relationship. Look after yourself :)
