Hey there,
I'm so sorry to hear what your boyfriend did.
Honestly, my advice is dump him. No man ever hits a woman to hurt her. If you signalled the choking was beyond the kink zone into dangerous territories he backs off. End of story. What he did, in my view, is unacceptable.
Honestly, I understand where you are coming from in terms of him being affectionate etc. However, in my eyes, it really feels like manipulation. To me it seems he thinks he can buy your affection via presents and saying romantic things. The fact that he hit you would signal to me that he isn't serious about the relationship.

I understand your fears about being cheated on or left. However, like I've told you before, you deserve the best. If he is abusive, etc he is not the best. He doesn't have the right to abuse you period.
My advice, again is to end it.

Feel free to message me if you want to talk.
