Is my boyfriend abusive/could he be?

Me and my boyfriend were fighting and he raised his arm like he was gonna hit me. It was very bizarre because I didnt think he would actually do it, but then the higher he raised it the wider my eyes got and I was more like "you know what? He might actually do it". Then after a second he just looked really sorry and lowered his arm down. I didn't get an apology. Although I'm not sure what I would get one for since he didn't actually hit me. What worries me is if he had the urge to hit me once, what's stopping him from having another urge AND acting on it? I dont want to tell my friends/family if I don't decide to do anything. I dont want them to see him in a different light. So this is where I've come 😅 Any advice would be appreciated 💕💕
