Why doesn't he care? is it just me, making something out of nothing?

A female age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My fiance just doesn't care about my feelings. His brother and wife don't like me becoz i don't wear name brand clothing (that's exactly what was said)and now they ignore me when we are family functions and when i ask my fiance why does he not stand up for me, he gets angry and tells me that i have a filthy heart. He says i don't earn enough and that his gas and car expenses add up to my salary (which is not true). i earn a good salary even though its not as much as his, its enough and i never had a prb with it. Now i feel as though i'm not good enough for his family. He says the most horrible things to me and expects me to smile about it and if i feel hurt or get upset then he says "oh f*ck, pls don't start with your *hit again, i don't have time for this". It hurts so much sometimes that i don't know what else to do but cry and that also doesn't bother him. He says that i'm a crybaby. I try to let him know why i feel the way i'm feeling but he just ignores what i'm telling him and starts telling me what my prb is and its normally not even close to the real reason. He apologises the next day after breaking my heart into a thousand pieces. i forgive him but i don't forget and it still hurts but i don't know what else to do to get through to him. When we not arguing, he's a great guy. I would like to be spoilt every now and then. All he does is buy expensive clothing and then asks me for money when he's all out. He pays me back but why tell me that he has a prb with the amount of money i earn. When we go out, i'm paying the bill 99% of the time. He says that i'm not looking out for our future because i don't earn enough. i feel so useless right now, i feel stupid and alone. I end up not talking to him because i'm lost for words and i'm scared of what horrible thing he might say back thing to me then he apologises by saying he knows that he's a bad boyfriend and he doesn't blame me for wanting to leave him and he's sorry for who he is bla bla bla ... and then i feel terrible and guilty when i know he's just being minipulative. What am i supposed to do? When i tell him that he's hurting me he says "ok" but as if he's talking to a child! Sometimes i feel like hurting him physically just to let him feel 1% of my pain. Help ...
