Accident...? 😔

Question

Can hitting ever be an accident?
My boyfriend and I have been together for years, he's never done anything to hurt me before. but the other night we were horsing around, and he hit me a little harder then normal. He said he didn't mean to, but it just bothers me. He apologized right after it happened. 
I know it's never okay to hit, but we were just horsing around. 
Please help...
Please don't be mean.

Answer

If you're playing around then of course it can be an accident. My husband and I horse around a lot and he's accidentally got me in my nose before, so hard I cried, he felt awful for it. But if it's out of anger then no it's not an accident

Answer

If you guys were playing around then you shouldn't worry, accidents happen. If hell wanted to hit you again he wouldn't hesitate, so forgive and move on or you're just end up ruin your relationship over something so silly.

Answer

Well I would make it clear that he will never hit me and tell him how it botherd me and he need to watch out when we play how much strength he has but talk so it won't bother you
