Everyone deserves respect with love. Please ask yourself if you're respected enough, and if you are then how can he hit you?? Does he hit his parents? His father or is it just you? He requires Counseling more than you do. Find a good couples Counselor. If he is not open to Counseling, you should definitely go for it. If you don't find a Counselor there consult me via practo. Send him for yoga class or swimming or martial arts class. Even you should go for self defense class.
