Is my boyfriend abusing me?

Anonymous
I am stuck in this relationship with my fiance and I feel so trapped. Don't have much money. All I have is my engagement ring and some nice jewlery to sell. We have been fighting over money like crazy lately and I can't handle it anymore. He is verbally abusive in my mind. I was working a seasonal job until my job as a teacher starts back up in a couple weeks. So since I haven't been working for a couple weeks he keeps throwing it in my face and telling me that I am lazy and that I don't do anything. Another thing is he keeps telling me I''m fat and I'm def not even close to being fat.

Today he blew up on me because I didn't put his clothes in the dryer. I didn't even know he had clothes in the washer! He put clothes in the dryer the other day so I didn't know other wise I would have def done that for him. He thinks I don't do anything because I don't work at the moment. He told me I don't do anything positive for him and he pokesme really hard and gets in my face. It scares me a lot and I'm starting to get worried that it could get physical soon. He hit me with our couch pillow and went around our condo throwing things and swearing and saying again how lazy I am and I don't do anything right. I am also told I don't flollow through with my word.

I watched my mom go through a verbally abusive relationship with my father and I see that my fiance is starting to be a lot like him. He claims I am lucky that he doesn't hit me and that he doesn't cheat on me. WTF is this supposed to mean? He thinks I'm weak because I cry and he doesn't get that his words sometimes really hurt. Then he'll say things that he doesn't want a wife who does nothing all day and cries because he called me stupid.

Is this abuse? Please someone answer this and help me. How can I feel safe? I don't have family that lives in the same state as me and I don't even have friends who can help me out. They still are in college or live at home.
