Boyfriend Trouble, need advice!

So ive been with my boyfriend for almost 18 months now. He's 21 and im 20. At the beginning of the relationship he was really worried about me cheating and didnt want me to talk to guys at all because of a bad relationship he just got out of with his ex. It's been 18 months and he's hardly changed. Ive changed a lot for him and given up a lot to be with him and he hasnt barely made an effort. I need help whether to continue the relationship, or to back out before it continues.

Pro: 

He's my first boyfriend and i love him to death.

He knows what to say to cheer me up

I get along with his family great

He gets along with MOST of my family

I love every second of being with him when he's NOT drinking

i love going hunting, fishing, and 4wheeling with him

we've talked about marriage, and getting our own place and having kids which i would absolutely LOVE to have in the future (but not necessarily with him)

Con: 

He constantly drinks and says things that are hurtful to me.

He always thinks he knows everything.

he thinks he can read through me, but he cant

he frustrates me ALOT

i dont know if i love him anymore

i miss my old life and my old friends

he told me to stop being friends with someone because he didnt like them and thought they were a bad influence

he constantly wants to know what im doing like all the time

he doesn't get along with one of my family members

I have like NO social life anymore

i always have to ask him if its okay that i do something and if he doesn't want me to he gets all worked up about it and then i end up not doing it because i dont wanna get into a fight with him over it and then by not doing it i get sad because i constantly feel tied down to being at his house with him and his parents, as usual.

pro/cons addition

adding on to my pros/cons list:
cons:
he doesn't trust me (yet he says he does). he constantly looks at my phone. tells me that if he ever sees me look at a guy he'll break up with me, yet he constantly talks about seeing girls boobs hang out all over the place (he mows lawns at a college where girls run around naked and then comes and tells me about the boobs he saw that day) and he thinks that its okay for him to look at a girl and tell me about it yet everytime i look at a guy i feel guilty cause im afraid he'll find out and dump me. he constantly says "ill find out if you're cheating on me, ive got friends that go to your school, ill check the cameras, etc..."
I dont know what to do anymore. I mean absolutley love him to death and i know thats its not healty to live in a relationship where i feel i have to constantly lie but everytime i even think about breaking up with him it kills me inside because i dont know what id do without him

HELP!!!!!!!
