Im worried because while he was beating me up, my baby woke up and was crying and he kept on and on. my baby has is 14 months, very stubborn, she fights with other kids. should this be a result from seeing mommy getting beaten,maybe she wants to practice what the daddy is doing?

If he stopped smoking and you started again he would almost certainly have smelled the tobacco smoke on your breath and your clothes, and I can't understand why it's taken him a year to question you about it.
His other comments about cheating etc. were most likely his way of emphasising his point rather than any real fears he may have had.
Before you start thinking about how to regain his trust, he should be thinking about how best to support you, not only over the death of your mother but how to help you quit the ciggies. It's quite understandable to me that you started again. It should have been to him.
You say you can't live without him, but I'd be tempted to call his bluff and tell him to piss off if that's what he thinks of you. If your family want to know why you've broke up (if you do) you can tell them he beat you and you weren't prepared to accept any domestic violence, no matter what sparked it off.

 Sweetie, fine, so you lied about smoking - are you telling me that he couldnt smell it on your breath or on your clothing???? I suspect that he knew all about your smoking but is using it as an excuse to physically abuse you and to question you about cheating on him. Sorry but I cannot understand why you would want to be with someone who physically beats you up - he does not love you.
I suspect there are greater problems in your relationship, and honestly, as far as the reason for your break-up - physical abuse!
