You won't like reading what I have got to say. End it. I have been there. If you really love him and want to be with him forever and he is the one, take a break from each other and evaluate what you both want from the relationship.
He can't treat you the way he does, and you should stop letting yourself being treated like that. You have lost all confidence and you can't see the wood for the trees. You need to regain your confidence.
I did that with my partner of five years (if you read my question you can see a flavour of what I went through). We aren't currently together (he moved out) but we are getting on better than ever. And maybe in the future we shall sort things out but one day at a time....
But I would say one thing....tell him to get help for cannabis addiction. He will probably be a nicer person for it.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

 You have been sucked into the awful world of an abusive man. You can't fix him by changing your behavior; that's not what's driving him. What drives him is the need to control you and he will continue to do so no matter how docile and obedient and submissive you get.
You have to find a way to leave him. If you are fearful for your safety, you do need to get in contact with the police or a women's shelter so you can make the break. I have a link for you: Womens Aid - The premier resource for domestic violence and sexual abuse against women and children in the UK. Got a massive range of support services from “safe refuges” for those most at risk to just plain old sound advice. Site is awesome but friendly and welcoming so not surprising some people feel more reassured just visiting it.

The best help I feel I can give you is to consider freeing yourself from the prison he's put you in. A prison of his devising, and you are in it because he has mentally battered you down to think this is normal. It is NOT normal, it is NOT healthy and there is a way you can exit the relationship safely.
Good luck to you.

PLEASE leave this man. Stop standing by him. He's a loser and effectively a woman beater. End it now.
