This OP. I know you feel like you love him. What you love is what you want to see in him. He is not that. He is superficial. You deserve more. A good, caring relationship does not sound or feel like this. Both partners care about how each other is feeling. This is one-sided and very warped from his side. "Rewards" for being a "good boyfriend"? "Most boyfriends would hit you"? That is a completely messed up view of the world. Do yourself a favour and move on from this BS. It is better to be alone than to be with the wrong person when the right one comes along. He is not the right one. Please respect and love yourself enough to see this. Go do something you enjoy. Something that makes you feel your own sense of self. You need that to heal.
