My boyfriend brought me a glass of wine while I was sitting on the couch. He then turned around and jumped down onto the couch so that the whole couch moved as I went to take a sip. The glass hit me in the mouth and chipped my tooth and so I yelled out "owwwwwwwwwww, you idiot!"

He started swearing at me and telling me it was my fault for drinking when I knew he was gonna sit down. I told him that it wasn't usual for someone to jump onto a couch instead of sit and whether he intended to or not he'd hurt me. He kept swearing at me and telling me he'd sit down any way he wanted. I started to get angry so I left the room.
He followed me into the bedroom and started yelling at me for walking away from him. I told him that I was angry at him cause he didn't care I was hurt, but he just kept telling me it was my own fault and he can sit anywhere he likes.

I was a bit childish and started walking so I bumped into him so I could say "well it's your fault, I can walk how I like." Before i got the words out, and mind you I didn't bump him hard. He pushed me with both hands so hard I flew 3-4 metres to the other side of the room and slid across the carpet and smacked my head hard on the wall.
He says it's perfectly justified coz I hit him first and doesn't understand why it shook me up so much or why I asked him to leave. I think it was quite violent and nasty.
