Should I give up on him?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year and lived together for 6 months. About 8 months in he got angry in the club thinking I was flirting with blokes- I wasn t. He said to come here or I ll smash your head in. I went to find him and I was quite angry. He ended up grabbing me by the throat up against the wall.
I forgave him and put it down to a one off. A week ago we had an argument after he came in drunk accusing me of cheating because he heard a rumour. Again this wasn t true but didn t believe me and again grabbed me by the throat. A few days later we had an argument so bad he slapped me round the face. I called my friends and they called the police. He was arrested and I moved all my stuff out. He s apologised over and over and said he s going to go to anger management. He wants us to try again and get the spark back but he also wants me to understand that it s partly my fault because I make him so angry. We were having a rough patch in between all this as I never feel good enough.
I love him so much but don't know what to do?

The abuser ALWAYS blames the victim!

Get rid of this creep. He will continue to beat you in the future!

@PUNKEY,
Yep, and promises to attend anger management classes don't mean **** unless (almost always) backed by a court order.

The police arrested him for a damned good reason. They did not arrest you as an 'enabler'. Because you aren't one.

@Foolmeonce,
I understand you have feelings for him. This is common in abusive relationships. You need to recognize that our feelings are sometimes very wrong. If you look at this rationally you will see that this relationship is never going to be good for you.

This is a bad relationship. You deserve better.

You should cut off this relationship and move on.
