    Dump him.

    Now. He will never change and you will turn into a nervous wreck trying to live up to his unattainable standards. I threw away two years of my life doing the same thing with a man who was exactly like your boyfriend and spent a year after leaving him learning to stop feeling like a worthless piece of crap for leaving a CD in the car on a hot day. You don't need this.
