When newlyweds, one night i made some snide remark and the spouse took the tv guide he'd been reading, swung it into my leg hard enough to leave a bruise. I told him if he ever did that again, I'm gone. Next night he came home with a basket of flowers-never so much as raised a hand to me again.
Eight years ago, he took a swing at our then 4 year old son and knocked him down near the tub. Again, I told him never ever do that again or HE would be gone. He's never laid a hand on him since.
My point is, there is always the potential that this will happen again. 15 days, 15 years, do you want to take the risk? The fact that he did not own up but rather gave the excuse that he wasn't able to stop himself is bullshit. If you had time to back away, he had time to stop.
Personally, I would only take him back on the condition he go to anger management and own up to his issues.
