How do I resolve this issue in the relationship?

I started dating this guy 3 months ago, and somethings about him seemed kind of off. When we first went on a date he failed to tell me that he just got divorced, and that he was unemployed. This didn’t bother me much because I liked certain things about him, after we’ve been together intimately he would mumble things under his breath like “fat”, “ugly”, and “you are gay” The weird thing about it is that he would tell me that I’m beautiful and pretty. It confused the hell out of me so I summoned up the courage to ask him why he said those things; he pretty much said that he never ever said those things because he doesn’t think them. On top of that he has roommates who say similar things about me when I am there, and when I bought it up he said that “they don’t discuss you” I warned him that if he ever did it again I will slap him then dump him. Now Just the other day out of nowhere he tells me “You have to work on your self-esteem, and find a job. But I need sometime to think about this so I will call you in 2 weeks” When I asked him if this was a break he said “At the moment we can call it that” And I’m fine with knowing that we are not to see other people and we are not to speak to one another during this break. So will this time apart help us figure things out?
