He hit me but can't remember.

Ridiculous situation, also well over a year ago now but could do with another opinion!

It was the middle of the night, DS woke for a feed (bf) so i sat up to feed him. Doing this disturbed DH and he 'huffed and puffed' and rolled over. I said something like, 'Oh stop huffing, you know what im doing'. he said 'shut up', so i said, 'you shut up'. then he rolled towards me and punched me in the leg. Then rolled back and went back asleep. I cried a bit and then put DS back asleep and could barely speak to DH the next day. When he asked what was up, I explained what had happened in the night and he looked like he genuinely coudnt remember nor believe what had happened. he apologised profusely. I forgave him and nothing like this (ie physical) has happened since.

what would you think of this?

If he shows no other signs of aggression, verbal bullying or controlling behaviour then I would just forget it. People do very strange things in a dream state which is not indicative of their normal personality.

It's a bit worrying that you say talking about things will start and argument and maybe you are afraid of that? If so that's not healthy. You should be able to broach any subject that's worrying you and get a reasonable reception. You shouldn't however go on and on about something he didn't intend and can't even remember if it was not typical of him.
