What should I do about my verbal abusive boyfriend?

Anonymous

My boyfriend can be very negative. He says things like”well I hope it doesn’t work out” or talks about my car because I need a new one (he has money but doesn’t have a car or house of his own, I have both). He sometimes takes his anger out on me, and I totally stand my ground and tell him not to do that.

Why am I with him? Well when I moved to jersey, my family betrayed me (wanted to use me, but I wouldn’t let them. I moved out the state) he took me in. He even slept in my car with me. I love my boyfriend but he makes me feel inadequate. Recently it’s been about how I look. I try to look my best but I’ve been working very hard so I can live comfortably like I did once with my family. I don’t have much money for myself so I don’t always look my best. I remember once we talked about his ex he hated and I tried to say something positive about her and he called me a 7, which is like huh weird. Then he always ask me about girls and look at other girls on Instagram. I’m a beautiful young lady, and I haven’t felt this way since high school. He also says I need to lose weight, he tells me that he wants me at 120. I haven’t been 120 since 9th-10 grade. I’m usually 135-140. Now I’m about 150-155.

I think he is projecting how he feels about himself on me because he’s out of shape, and thinks he’s ugly, and maybe he feels not good enough. I always tell him he isn’t ugly and we can work out together. Recently he lost a family member and it has mad his anger worse and I’m trying to be there for him because he was there for me.. He has been at my house for weeks, I just don’t know what to do. I don’t want it to result in a break up or cheating. I’m really trying my best but he just keeps doing the same thing even when he says sorry and how he will change 😔. What should I do? I’m tired of him talking to me like I’m nothing. He even hides me from his friends in public.
