I too, was in an abusive romantic relationship-two of them actually. Both of them I thought that if I just worked hard enough it would get better. It didn't, and from what I hear, it still hasn't.
One I left and the second exploded in my face. The explosion is the only thing good that really happened in that relationship in that it got me out before even worse happened.
I understand you love him until the world ends (or something very similar), but you should go. You won't feel any different until you do. And even that will take time. You need to be safe though. Abuse does get worse, and the more you forgive the worse it gets.
It hurts and it will hurt, but putting it off is not a good idea.
As others have said, we're here regardless of what you decide, but please, please stay safe.
