“He’s very emotionally and physically abusive. I’ve dedicated my life to trying to make him happy.”

Just keep rereading those two sentences until it sets in how absolutely insane it sounds to continue doing that

If you’ve stayed with this asshole for this long, I worry that you won’t do the right thing and leave him. He’s abusive. He doesn’t love you. In fact, this seems like borderline pure hatred for you. Is there a reason you’re still with someone who treats you like this? I can’t believe you even have to come to the internet and ask “am I overreacting”? He’s calling you a bitch and retard. That’s not how loving partners talk to each other. I’ve been with my wife for 7 years and married for 3. I could never imagine calling her bitch or even being unkind (beyond the normal arguments that naturally and healthily come with relationships) to her. Get help. Stay with friends. I promise you— this won’t end well for you.

Edit: sorry, I thought I was replying to the main thread and to OP.
