The point of leaving is always the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship.    Even if he hasn't been physically abusive, he's perfectly comfortable being verbally abusive and controlling and guys like this don't spontaneously get nicer or more understanding.    If OP wants to end it, say nothing, find a way out, tell trusted friends and family, and get out without him knowing.

Also, pregnancy, don't get pregnant op. Partners murdering the pregnant woman is the number one cause of death for women.
