Don't pretend to be, really do become disinterested in him
Sure he may be worried about her snooping. Tough shit, there's a chance he could get in a car crash but he still drives doesnt he? He wants a girlfriend to be around all the time, he'll have to cough up the key. If he's too afraid, then he'll just have to go without girlfriends and be fully single. But he doesn't want that either, boo hoo. Unless he finds a doormat who'll let him have things both ways, he just needs to make his decisions and live with them.
I won't blame you too much for allowing this dynamic to develop. Everyone's saying oh look how you handed power over to someone. But you aren't supposed to be on the lookout for that kind of crap, relatonships are supposed to be about having a supportive person on your side. They aren't supposed to be adversaries in power games. He took advantage of you and the relationship template to extort power.
The only question left is, why do you even like this guy? The actions of someone being a dick to you should make you stop liking them. Few things are more empowering and self-respecting than dumping someone for mistreating you. I know you worry about losing something valuable if you break up, but it is the greatest feeling in the world to realize you just don't want some shitty person and stop caring to speak to them, and its because you are doing something self-respecting for a change. Just trust us on this one, you are not losing anything of value. He is. Or maybe he's not, but it doesn't matter.
One thing you'll have fun laughing about later is he'll probably tell himself and the world that he dumped you because
you were the inconsiderate one who didn't answer his calls anymore.
