I am sorry to hear of this situation. If he was physically abusing you, and now emotionally abusing you, you need to first remove yourself from that situation immediately!! The longer you continue to stay with him, the longer you are allowing this to happen! Second, if you really want to continue this relationship, he really needs to seek out therapy for his behavior towards you. Violence of any type will always escalate into something more dangerous. He needs to begin therapy ASAP for him to understand why he mistreats you, and he needs to understand that you need to build trust again with him!! YOU can't cure him or stop him from abusing you in anyway!! He needs professional help with someone that counsels batterers. My best suggestion to you is that if you truly want to continue this relationship, he needs to get some help in order to try and work this out with you! If he refuses to do so, then it will be completely up to you whether you stay with him or not, but heed, if you continue to stay with him if he refuses help, beware of the situation getting worse! I hope this helps, and let me know what happens! Feel free to ask me anything!
