» littlelady3 - if it happens once will it happen again?

About a year ago my boyfriend punched me in the back of my shoulder. His father used to beat his mother. Does this mean it's going to happen again and does it mean I am in abusive relationship? we haven't been together since then and now we are trying to work things out. I don't see him ever doing it again and i don't think he is really the type. Am I one of those girls who makes up excuses for why their significant other beats them?
