Whenever something happens in a relationship that upsets the power balance like this, it's very important to redress them, or you end up in a very unbalanced negative situation.
Can you discuss this with him? Explain to him that you are worried that the way you are interacting will only end badly, and that you think it's important to make clear agreements on what is and isn't acceptable to either of you.
Either he recognizes that you (as a couple) are going down a dark path, and agrees to work on it... or he doesn't. I think that's the time when you start thinking about your other options.
