Need help escaping domestic violence situation

I was in an abusive relationship when I was younger. To get out of it I started acting in subtle ways I knew he'd hate to make him break up with me.

For example, didn't like me wearing low cut tops...cleavage came out.

Didn't like my friends....I'd brag about how I have the greatest friends in the world, no one is better than my friends, I need to spend every second with my friends suddenly. Oh you wanna take me to movie? Only if jenny and susie can come!

Didn't like rap music....E-40 and Bone Thugs started bumpin in my car.

He hated liberals...I began preaching about the joys of socialism and democratic policy benefits and how important it is.

Hated when we didn't have sex.....I had lots of headaches, double periods, and weird yeast infections suddenly....sorry no sex.

Hated the smell of smoke....I (temporarily & only in front of him) suddenly developed a new hobby that made me stink all the time.

Eventually he got sick of me. It was a long game, two months! But it worked. I had to be careful with this though because I didn't want anyone else to get hurt so I did my best to keep it to the things that mildly aggravated him, not the things that would flip the switch entirely and create a violent situation. You know your situation best, so you know if this would work for you or not.
