The difference between your boyfriend and Eliot Spitzer
is that Spitzer pays more for services rendered. Your boyfriend is treating you like a service employee. Somehow he has you convinced he is All That. Cary is 100% right--you need to show him you're an independent person. Either then he'll fall madly in love with you, give you all you've wanted and more, or dump you. Here's how you do it: imagine the relationship you want to have with your boyfriend (be reasonable!) and then do your half of it.
I've tried this maneuver myself. The first time he dumped me so fast my head spun. The second time? He's my husband. I kind of knew in my heart which way it would go both times. In your case, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
