It hurts b/c you know its how you've been acting. But its not who you want to be, which is why you came here for advice. So. Stop being those things. Next time he contacts you, tell yourself "no, I won't be this guy's toy. I deserve better than this." Then go out and find it.
You won't be able to change him, btw. So don't even bother going there. If you DO have that tendency, and I think you just might, please have a read of this thread:

Its worded for guys but its also common for women to become a 'rescuer' in order for her to avoid working on her own self-esteem. Try to realize that the reason you tolerate this guys bad behaviour is b/c there is something in you that doesn't want to believe you deserve better. Or are afraid to go out and get it. Or something else like. Cut off contact with this guy and spend some time looking into your bellybutton as to why you cling to this loser psuedo-BF.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
