Why does he abuse me if he doesn't want to break up?

Anonymous

We've been in this relationship for 8 months. It's my first relationship and he claims the same about himself too. The problem I face is whenever there is a fight, he gets very abusive. He tells me things like "fuck off you idiot", "get the fuck out of my life", "never contact me again bitch", "I hate girls like you" etc. Then 3-4 minutes later he tells me that he has done a horrible mistake and that I should forgive him, he won't repeat it again.

At the beginning of our relationship, I used to think probably he can't control his tongue while he's angry. Then fights didn't use to be this intense either. Earlier I tried my best to help the relationship improve and resolve the conflicts. I'm not a hot headed, impatient or impulsive person at all. However, now I've got tired. Every time he goes abusive I tell him that we should break up. But then he says I'm not giving him chance enough and that he'll surely show me improving his character. He also tells me that he loves me a lot and doesn't want me to go away.

Why does he do this?
