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.

Next time he treats you like shit in front of his friends, tell him right then and there. I don't think you'll ever be able to explain it to him without making it sound terrible...because it IS terrible, you know? I know you don't want to hurt him, but you've got to get the message across. You've got to make him realize that what he's [not] saying and what his friends are saying is hurting you.
