Well, if you are getting into physical bouts with your boyfriend which left you with a broken arm, that's a problem.
Ask yourself what you want back. Do you want the physical confrontations back? Or, do you want the happiness back?
It is important to ask yourself that, because the tendency of your fights to get physical has already proven itself.
Why would your boyfriend be waffling now? Likely because he's ashamed of himself for breaking your arm. I wasn't there so I don't know the details, but putting your hands on each other during an argument is NOT ACCEPTABLE. No questions asked. If either of you want this relationship to continue, then you need to talk to a family counselor. Because if your fights are getting physical now, it will only get worse.

If the relationship is that volatile, he maybe realised you 2 shouldn't be together. To end up in hospital with a broken arm isn't normal.
Maybe he's scared what will happen next and thinks its time to call it a day.
Doesn't sound much like he's wrong to be honest, from what you have said on here.

He could be feeling guilty about hurting you, and guilt often drives people to self-fulfilling prophecies such as, "this can't work" or "I'm not a good person", etc.
Leaving for Iraq is another issue in itself, distance is difficult especially in such an insecure situation.
The two things combined make it difficult for a person to make a sound decision, perhaps he's worried that you'll find someone better in the time that he's gone and he doesn't want to deal with the pain of an affair or the like.
