You don't need visible proof for it to be true. Emotional abuse is invisible, and that's still abuse, and just as wrong. In the gentlest possible way, why is the fact that you can't visibly prove anything a predicament? Do you want to leave him, and feel you need the visible evidence as a justification? Or is it something else? If you want to work things out with your husband, I think the fact that he will not apologise is very worrying - he doesn't seem to think that what he did was wrong.
Do you have support near you? Family or friends? Anyone who truly cares about you won't need to see a black eye to be supportive if you tell them about your situation. Is there someone you can confide in for support?

I frankly was thinking of leaving him before he hit me. It's why I was looking at getting back to work. I guess I want the justification so I can keep the house. Maybe that should be the least of my worries, but I'm going to be raising three kids and dammit I want the house. I don't feel like I need the justification to leave for me, but I do wish I had something to show people so they wouldn't think I was making it up.
I do have a great family close by. My mom has my oldest son camping this week, but my dad is close by and I have friends I can call. Thanks.
It's still hitting, right?

Yes. It's not at all ok, and it is a big deal.

He shouldn't hit you but don't overreact.

Maybe you and Capt. Industry are the last people who should give me time management advice.

How upset you get about it is up to you but you really don't need to prove anything
