My boyfriend keeps accidentally giving me bruises, should I tell him?

Emily

I’ll preface this with how gentle my boyfriend is, how kind and soft he is as a person.

But when we play fight or when he tickles me or picks me up jokingly I think he forgets how massive he is. I have right now just from seeing him this weekend a bruise on the back of my hand that’s perfectly thumb shaped from play fighting and a whole host of polka dots on my ribs.

He’s rough in bed ( hell we both are) but doesn’t bruise me up there, only accidentally outside the bedroom or when neither of us are paying attention. (Ex: I had a mark on my shoulder from his giant ass head that took 3ish days to go away)

My point is: do I tell him? I know he’ll feel so bad but I’m afraid someone is going to think he hits me or something.
