A secure man shouldn't be affected by shit like that.
As far as the hitting I'm not going to judge you. Everyone knows good people make bad decisions and humans are emotional creatures, shit happens. You obviously had a wealth of factors interacting at once that lead to that event. You saw her with a guy, you were inebriated, she slapped you and you reacted. Did you OVERreact? Yeh, I mean that had to be a hard ass slap to dislocate her jaw. I wouldn't even call it a "slap". Even if your hand was open I've punched people before w/out dislocating jaws. So regardless of the shape your hand was in when it hit her face you put A LOT of force into it and for a woman, the gender that lives with an instinctual fear of the other sex, that would be quite a traumatizing event for her, drunk or not.
And she has a reason to fear you now. Its not so important what you settle with her but what you settle with YOURSELF now. You must know & believe yourself that shit like that won't happen again. If a women smacks you theres a million other mature ways to handle the situation than to smack her back. She ALSO did not have the right to lay a hand on you. So SHE overreacted just as well. But ethically speaking, the majority would be more empathetic of her position.
Don't blame her. Don't blame yourself. Blame doesn't fix problems.
Once you KNOW you can control yourself that will be conveyed to her as time passes regardless of what you actually say to her.
An apology is ok, but don't let her think your 100% at fault.
The best thing to do.. and the HARDEST would actually be to distance yourself from her emotionally for a bit. She will FEEL that and she will REALIZE that you were truley affected by what happened. You can have a logical conversation about what happened but try not to act so emotionally invested in her or the situation. Remember, EMOTIONS are what got you into this situation. If she sees you have control over your emotions, by pulling back for a bit, she will fear your emotions LESS. It will draw her towards you.
You have to understand if she sees you overly emotional about what happened your communicating to her that your still the same. That your emotions are still controlling YOU, not the other way around. Pay close attention to that aspect of your behavoir. Don't fear she'll leave by you doing that. Absence of presence creates desire. More than anything you can NEVER be completely sure of how things will work out. Just do the mature manly thing and all you can do is hope she forgives you. Trust will reinstate itself with time.
And don't beat yourself up over it. Your human. Humans make mistakes. The whole point is to GROW and EVOLVE from those mistakes.
