Angry boyfriend out of control?

Question

my boyfriend and i had a huge fight because i mad at him for not giving me any sort of attention when i came over that morning. i told him i felt that way and he didn't really care he just said i am busy. so then i left the room mad and he said ok if you are going to cause contention in my house with my family around then just go home. but i wouldn't cuz he was yelling at me and i wanted to have an actual conversation but he wouldn't listen and i wouldn't leave cuz i thought we would just get over it sooner or later. then he left the room and then came back and i was sitting on the couch and he grabbed me by my sweatshirt and forced me out of the room and yelled to go home. i was scared but i love him and wanted to work things out. he didn't hurt me but i was so scared. i should have left which was my bad. would you call this abuse or forcefullness and assertiveness? could it lead to something more violent? he said we would never hurt me on purpose or touch me in a way that could cause harm and he said that he wasn't trying to hurt me in the first place but that he was just getting me out of his house. he has never done this before and we have been dating for a little over a year now. what should i do to stop this? am i safe with him? or ditch him. i really do love him though i just hate it when he gets mad but i also flip out a lot over petty things that frusterate the c**p out of him!

Answer 1

Buy a clue and get out. What's it gonna take to wake you up? His fist buried in your face?

Answer 2

it wasnt good that he grabbed your sweatshirt, he sounds a bit immature for the fact that he wouldn't sit down and talk about it.  i think you should wait till he apologozies, and he means it. don't ditch him yet. if something like this happens again, ditch him.
