My boyfriend hit me when he was drunk, what should I do?

[Noxnamexneeded]

It was around 10, the time my boyfriend gets back from work, but he didn't show up, so i started calling him and he didn't answer. I got really worried and i called my guy bff to ask for what should i do and he came to my apartment. About two hours later my boyfriend came home and he was blackout drunk. When he saw me and my bff he started calling me names and that i've cheated on him. I told my bff to leave as he did and when me and my boyfriend were left alone he hit me and i fell to the floor. I thought he would hit me again and i tried my best to get up, so i locked myself in the bedroom. The next morning my boyfriend was a mess and when i told him about last night he strarted saying sorry and stuff. What should i do?

This is probably something that you didn't want to hear, but if I were you, I'd leave. Now. It is not worth it.

He might blame the alcohol, but it shows that he cannot control himself - both the alcohol and his emotion/anger. No one should be a victim of domestic violence. Remember, it is most difficult to do a certain thing for the first time. Once it is done, it can be done again very easily. Violence falls into this category. If he's hit you once, he can do it again. There is nothing stopping him from getting blackout drunk again and there is nothing stopping him from being violent again.

Leave. Now.

Him being drunk is not an excuse or reason to hit you, you should never tolerate that. If he has done this the first time then give him a stern warning that you won't tolerate this behaviour and see the result, if he does that again your option would be to leave him. Leaving him keep that as the last option.

Break up with him. You're never going to be able to trust him completely again. If you stay, he'll hit you again. It happens all the time.

Unless you leave now and stand up for yourself and ensure that you never tolerate violence from your partner, you will always be a battered woman.

Leave him.

You already posted that he hit you also when he wasn't drunk at:

What are you really waiting for? For him to punch you and break your nose next time? Leave him and file assault charges on him.

Tell him to get his act together or leave him. Alcoholism brings out the worst in people.

This is actually the second time he has hit her. The first time he wasn't even drunk but stressed out for not finding a job.
She already posted about him regretting it the first time at:

If this is not the first time then I believe it's in your best interest to move on. There's good people where the thought of hitting you does not even cross their mind once.

You should break up wit him.
