Honestly, Trixi, this is better than where you were. It's out, and you are out of limbo. You can really get a life now. He is the self-centered person you suspected he was, and at least he admits it. It's hard to deal with rejection. But it is better to accept reality than to waste your life waiting for the scraps of attention that he is willing to throw your way. You have a lot to offer a man. Now you know you are free to find one who is really interested in sharing a life. Not someone who will use you to save him from boredom. I'm sorry you feel so bad, but it is time for you to close the wound and let it heal.
