The balance of power in this relationship seems very unfair to you. I would prepare a list of things you want to talk about and sit down and have a very frank discussion about your needs. A good way to phrase these is: I think _______. Then I feel ______. Followed up by I want ________. It is still making an assertive request, but done in a way that is not an attack which can make the other person more receptive. Perhaps suggest seeing a counselor so that there is a mediator between you and he as it seems he is verbally abusive at times. I would also let him know what you're prepared to do if the changes you're asking for aren't met so pick conseqiences and stick to them! If you feel it's worth salvaging, that's my suggestions. I hope it works out!
