Since you asked for advice, here's mine...Leave this alone. He is not relationship material. He was abusive toward you and abuse is never okay. Don't stick around for it to happen again, which it most likely will. You deserve better.
I have a history of abusive relationships without addiction involved and and guy was the most opposite of anyone I'd met before, so it was a real shock what he did. But was it abusive? I guess if a friend described it to me I would think so but I have trouble understanding things like that for myself, I guess I expect poor treatment at this stage so these changes over the last month with him while not welcome have also not maybe surprised or shocked me like they would someone with a more lucky background :-/
