Would you wait for significant other if they were going away to jail?

im tryna be a good women and stand by his side, and i know hes very stressed because hes going away for a year, but all the stress he has he takes it out on me, on me and no1 else. hes been treating me real bad, like verbally abusive and a bit physical, like throwing little things at me. i dont know if im supose to take this or what???? youlwould think that he would appraciate more the little time we have together, especially because im pregnant. hes not your typical criminal type, he was trying to defend me when things got ugly, hes gotten a lot accomplished thus far. but hes being so nasty too me.
