It's obvious that you need to leave the house ASAP. Collect your valuables, and sue him so that you get a restraining order. He's dangerous for you! There is no reason to beat you (you didn't cheat on him anyways), he'd just find any other excuse. I understand that you've grown scared of his violence, but you need to take that step. Contact your local domestic violence support group!

So, if I'm understanding right, you were with him for three weeks, cheated on him, and then broke up for two years and then got back together a year ago now, right? It was wrong of you to cheat, but I'm sure you know that much. It still doesn't give him the right to abuse you, though. It was his choice to remain with you or get back with you when he knew that you'd cheated, so he can't blame you for that. He can still be hurt over it, and even be wary of trusting you with male friends, but it sounds like you need to get out of there. I understand that you love him, but love has to go two ways or it just doesn't work. You should leave him and stay with someone. Once you're out of there, let them know what's going on and that you're scared-your true friends will not blame you for anything if they're good friends. You're worth more than this, start believing that, sweetie.
