Philip Mutch, 40, formerly of Shrewsbury but most recently of Capern Grove, Birmingham, was jailed on Friday after a court was told of his sickening attacks on his former partner.
The shocking violent attacks took place over three years – including while the woman, who was living in Shrewsbury, was pregnant.
Mutch was described as "routinely paranoid" and "obsessed by the idea his partner had been unfaithful".
The court was read details of a catalogue of incidents where the victim was subjected to extreme violence and degrading acts – with Mutch repeatedly spitting in her face, forcing her to eat cigarette butts from an ashtray, punching her, kicking her, and strangling her until she passed out.
