my boyfriend issues., yes, i know you're all tired of hearing it but im so confused Options

So.. recently his friends have all turned on me and they make fun of me and stuff and he doesnt really stick up for me just kinda sighs and tells them to stop because he knows i expect him to. I mean.. he should right?

Also he also gets really mad at me and yells at me and calls me stupid, hopeless, blind, retarded and sometimes other things its just horrible. Then he tells me I dont treat him good enough just because I hang out with guys [most my friends are guys and they always have been]. He tells me I'm not being the best to him and that seriously hurts me.

He also thinks he's not doing anything wrong.. like at all.. like yelling at me and making me cry every day is healthy or something.

I talked to my mom about it and she told me that mental abuse is just as bad as physical but I dont see it as mental abuse.. he's good, sweet, caring, loving, kind, cuddly, and like a boyfriend most the time.. just not when he's around the friends that hate me/make fun of me. We've been together over half a year and all this stuff just started happening because his friends hate me now.

I know but I spent so long TRYING to be with him and i've been with him for over half a year and its so great when its friends aren't around. It's only three of his friends that are assholes but when he's around anyone else but THOSE THREE he's perfect and so amazing.

I CAN'T break up with him.. I just.. i really cant. I dont know what to do though.. I dont know what to say to him to get him to understand what i mean.. i sent him a long message today and i made him cry because he thought i was going to break up with him. he's a real sweetheart he just has some sour edges and i know he can get better i just dont know how to explain to him how i feel without making it osund horrible
