<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

We've been together a year and a half.

We were having an argument over productivity and taking care of business. I have trouble overcoming my fear of applying for freelance jobs and working on learning more skills in my field, he has trouble cleaning up after himself, cooking for himself, working regularly (he has a steady freelance job but only works about 10 hours a week on $40 an hour). and has trouble showering regularly (although by some miracle, he never smells). 

Regardless, mid argument, he's in my face yelling and I tell him to "Get his face out of mine before I put something in it, like a fist." He says "Okay! I'm tired of you not doing what you say you will!" Then he grabs my hand and punches himself in the eye. He now has a black eye developing and his parents are on the way home (we're visiting). He's refusing to put ice on it.

I don't know, I'm freaking out right now and just looking for opinions here. I've interpreted it as a need for him to spend some time sorting things out in his head on his own. He's never lived by himself before; we met when he was living with his parents and dropped out of college due to loan debt. We've been through a lot, and I essentially gave up my entire family for him, escaping abuse from my mother and sister.

I have the time and money saved up to get an apartment, but not to sustain myself long-term (still in college full-time and I'm not convinced a minimum-wage job will cover an apartment and living expenses.) I've been planning to move into a new apartment anyway, as I don't believe in cohabitation outside of marriage but did it out of necessity. I'm angry that he's making me question our relationship as a whole by doing something so stupid, scary and unstable. We've been talking about marriage for months. I'm scared of trying to get out on my own and make enough money to sustain an apartment. I don't want to leave him, but I know we need a break. Anyone have any advice? Comforting words? Comforting gifs?
