I think your girlfriend's parents are likely more worried that they accidentally raised a boyfriend-beater than they are about how you came off at dinner.
Just let it go. Deal with your eye injury.
Even if you hadn't taken a hit to the face, everyone is off their A game sometimes.
I know a couple who are married 20 years after he cheated on her with her friend, knocked said friend up, and she hand-held the friend through a termination not knowing the father was her boyfriend. When that came out, it also came out with revelations he was trying to sleep with at least 2 of her other friends. They still went on to get married, have kids and are seemingly happy.
But honestly, I think they are a rare, rare exception. And to be honest, at this time, we were all appalled that she stayed.
This is fantastic advice. I was also going to suggest couples counseling – and finding someone that is familiar with ethical non monogamy is a must, imo.
She's trying to get pregnant. This is very obvious. If you don't want a child, do not have sex with this woman. Simple.

Another victory for alcohol. If you couldn't handling doing a threesome without being drunk, I'd say you guys couldn't handle a threesome.
Obviously sober boundaries are still boundaries even with waived during intoxication.

Did you fight that first year and did she admit being wrong and apologise?
No 🙁
