im worried my boyfriend is the same as my violent ex.

Ive been with my boyfriend for just over 3 months- he gets very angry quite easily, is fairly controlling and likes his own way, which is fine to an extent. Recently, we've had 2 arguments- the 1 he shouted so loud at me, it made me feel really threatened and ive never felt like this with him ever :( and he punched the wall where i was standing very hard and it made me feel scared. We spoke about it and he apologised. We then had an argument a few days later because id fallen out with one of my friends and I said I didnt want to talk about it, and he absolutely flipped, saying he means nothing to me, he was yelling at me and banging the doors (i asked him to stop, i apologised, i went to cuddle him, saying i loved him and he pushed me away) then he started hitting my things like my TV and told me I was to go and sit with him and turn the TV off and he wouldnt stop shouting and i felt so vulnerable. I was literally treading on eggshells, asking him to stop shouting, insisting i was sorry and i love him. The reason Im worried is because he recently said to me ''your better off without me, its only a matter of time before i hit you'' and i know his parents are violent with one another and i dont want him thinking its normal. My ex was very abusive and again, it built up gradually- hed hit objects and things near me to make me feel intimidated and to submit and im just so scared its going the same way. I dont know what to do- i really love him. Should I try talking to him when he's not mad and tell him how it makes me feel?
