Feeling that you want to be with him can be deceptive. The endorphines submissive sexual situations creates is extremely addictive. Something all subs need to be aware of, these endorphines can mask as feelings, and rather intense ones at that.
Beyond that... COMMUNICATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! please please please
Be safe
I totally agree with SubChaser. The most important thing is to communicate.
But I must admit that I sometimes have a little difficulties with understanding your problems with the bruises. How did they come etc? Did you like what happened until you saw the bruises?
Are you in BdSm or aren't you? Maybe the guy don't even know himself that he maybe is into it.
If you else like to be together, then sit down and talk it through, both what you like and what you dislike and listen to what he says too.
It's very important that you find out before shit happens. Better be safe than sorry
