Is it normal for me not wanting to be called a bitch?

I have me in a relationship for two years now. He is 53 and I'm 44. My boyfriend has a lot of issues. He calls me a bitch because I stand up for myself. He accuses me of being with someone else, he is smothering this has been going on every since I have met him. And he is upset that I'm not affectionate enough. I just can't get the way he treated me out of my head. I want to be affectionate but the damage has already been done. I tried telling him the reason why I hate the word bitch so much is because when I was 12 years old I was being called a bitch while I was getting raped by a man my mother knew. I have flash backs and every time my boyfriend calls me a bitch I see that man's face on my boyfriend's shoulders. He started off this relationship disrespecting me.

    Why would you spend one day with someone who disrespects you so? One would hope that by 44 you had learned that much about what makes a good life, or do you enjoy being abused?

    Your boyfriend sounds terrible. Why are you with him at all, exactly?

    This has been going on ever sense you met him and you still went out with him? I was going to say he's a dick, but you should have been smarter than that.
