I didn't think about rape charges because I gave consent but it is true I only had sex with him to get him to stop asking for it . some times he would even hit me if I didn't

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Abusive Relationships?
By what you have written which is the only way I can evaluate things. You have defined what is considered under the law as rape in a degree less than first degree rape.
Even though you consented you did so under duress, that is the definition of rape in less than the first degree. You say so in this question to me now.
"some times he would even hit me if I didn't" This is consenting under force or duress, this is rape and you have five years in most states under which you can bring rape charges against him.
Speak to the DA or states attorney for your city or county or the police and they can explain it in more detail. As I see it by what you have explained to me you hold his future in the palm of your hand. While you may not think of it as rape the law does. He may not think of it as rape but he has a rude awaking coming if you wish to charge him.
All you really need to do is make him aware that he has committed a felony and real jail time is a possibility for him. The choice is his that you are willing to back off and not charge him if he will simply go away and leave you and your family alone.
My advice is that you do bring charges against him for you have been lucky. Other than being forced to have sex with him you didn't want to have you have not been physically harmed. The next girl may not be so lucky. By bringing charges against him you may just be saving some girls life.
