PS: I should have said "he doesnt respect you, or value you either".
Because he can have you when he wants on a whim, and ignore you when he wants, with no consequences for him. You have never put down a standard of treatment for him to treat you well. Hence, no value, and no respect from him. He treats you with no respect because, to use his own words: you let him get away with it.
ALSO.... you did your "I know you'll be back" thing. worst thing you could possibly have said. One of these times, he'll not come back, just to spite you and prove you wrong about that. You ARE wrong about it; he will not always come back.
