How do I move past this?

My husband & I got in a H U G E fight today. Like, to the point where he told me that we shouldn’t be married anymore & to just pack my stuff. The fight was over nothing. It literally just started because I was telling him about this back pain I’ve been having for well over a month now.

So, I got our 14-month-old daughter out of the car (we started fighting on the way home from the store), went inside & started packing some stuff for my daughter & I. Called my sister to come get my daughter & I (car is in his name, I couldn’t take it). Called my boss, told him I was having a family issue & wouldn’t be able to work my shift tonight. I’ve been working there for 5 months & that was the very first time I ever called out.

My husband walks in, sees me packing & loses his shit even harder. Slamming every door he walked past, throwing everything he could get his hands on around the house. I’m scared shitless at this point & all I could do was just cry... he just kept screaming “bye!” at me. Then asks, “why the fuck are you crying?”.

I get ready to walk out the door with our daughter & all of the sudden it’s “Please don’t go. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean it. Don’t leave.”

So I didn’t... now I’m wondering if I should have...

He’s been trying to make up for it all day. He’s apologized I don’t know how many times. He took me to Lowe’s to get some flowers to plant in our garden. Asked if we could get a sitter & go for a date night sometime this week...

I know he’s sorry. I just don’t know how to move past this. He really hurt me emotionally today just by the sheer fact that he told me to get out & said it so easily. Not to mention some other nasty things he said. But... he’s yelled at me before but not like he did today. Today was the first time I ever felt scared by him.

how do you get over a big fight like this? I’m not trying to drag it out or start a new one I just honestly don’t know how to handle this.

Edit: the argument started when I was complaining about this back pain I’ve been having. He said something snarky & I told him it was rude. It just kinda took off from there & got blown WAY out of proportion. This isn’t the first time we’ve fought, obviously. But this is only the second time it’s gotten ‘violent’. Our bedroom door has a hole in it from an argument we had about 7 months ago. He got mad & punched a hole in it. I’m scared to leave. I don’t want our daughter exposed to this behavior, but I rely on him finically even though I work. He makes a LOT more money than I do. If we’re not together I wouldn’t be able to afford the house we have or anything.
