My fiance and I had some friends over the other night and we all drank quite a bit. We don't drink often, usually just on birthdays and a bit at New Year's. So after everyone left, we got in a stupid argument over some things that got spilled on and I overreacted. Anyways, it escalated quickly and got a bit out of hand. He ended up calling me a pretty bad name and I slapped him in the face. After I slapped him, he pushed me and I fell into the closet door, scraping my back on the way down. As soon as it happened, he was in shock. He started crying and apologizing and I was really mad.
So I asked this question on here a couple of days ago as to what I should do and whether I should forgive him. The general answer that I got was that it was likely alcohol fueled and I should forgive him, and I agreed with this answer. We have NEVER fought like this in the 3 years that we have been together. He barely even raises his voice when we argue. We are not regular drinkers and we do not fight often, and when we do, its very civilized.
So we have decided to try to move on from this. The problem now is that the bruise on my back is HUGE and it hurts so much I cant lean on chairs to sit down or lay on it. And everytime he sees me struggling, he gets all worked up again and apologizes a thousand times. I try not to let him see it, but it hurts A LOT. My question, is how do we move on from this when he feels so bad and I'm in pain? What do we do now?
Also, I know that I am not innocent in this by any means, I should have never slapped him. I feel terrible too.
The make-up sex answer, not helping, I can barely move and he literally cries when he sees my bruise. This is a serious question, please answer seriously.
