Criticism and contempt are two of the four great ruiners of relationships. (The others are stonewalling and defensiveness).
Your relationship with him is going to become intolerable (if it isn't already) if he does not change the behaviors you describe. My suggestion is to follow Trippin's advice and if you don't see a major improvement then leave him behind. In my opinion, a man who consistently reduces a woman to the verge of tears through his criticism and contempt needs to change or leave.
