It looks like your abuse issues haven't improved in the past two months. I've never heard of free or discounted marriage counseling, as that's largely a "luxury" thing. I know this is never the answer an abuse victim is looking for, but it's the only one I've got: LEAVE HIM. Before you end up dead. Yes, I'm serious. There is absolutely no excusing physical abuse. It usually only gets worse, especially if you can't afford serious psychological therapy for him. You haven't married him yet, you should be able to cut it off. Get a restraining order if necessary. The more you put up with it, the further he's going to push it. If you're worried about the breakup, go to a friend's house or a battered women's shelter and do it from there. Send friends to get your stuff for you. I know it sucks, I know it's not the advice you want, and I know you're probably not going to do it right away. But the more you hear it, the better.

Several people have given you simmilar answers. It is doubtful that you are going to get a different answer. It is now up to you to decide what are you going to do. We can give you suggestions but we can't do it for you. It is time to either take action or not but you can't straddle the fence anymore. Believe me I understand that it is not easy. But it seems to me that living with your fiance isn't easy either and abuse usually gets worse as time goes on not better. As far as treatment is concerend I would suggest you tell him to go get counseling and if he stays in counseling for a year then MAYBE start talking to him. Not having a realtionship but talking. I would also suggest you find counseling for yourself either where I suggested or somewhere else.
