For just a snippet of male perspective on this question, when I read the part about what he did to my boyfriend he immediately responded with, "Then he needs to go to jail. That's unprovoked assault." I don't think anyone in their right mind would condone what you described. This doesn't even fall under the more excusable category of over-reacting during horseplay - it's not like he hit you while you were tickling him or play-fighting. If anything, maybe if you break up with him it'll be the wakeup call he needs.
