My boyfriend of 18 months (a year n a half) has always been super toxic and manipulative?

I love him so much but he’s like his dad a lot, I’m lost and I don’t know what to do!! I talked to him last night on call and I told him how I felt and he just said “ok? what do u want me to say” and I just lost it. I said “you don’t feel anything?” and he just basically kept saying no and he doesn’t really care So I hung up and started to text him, he said he doesn’t care and just said “so you’re just saying i’m like my dad? gee thanks idc” and it just struck me, his dad is manipulative and he gaslights to his girlfriend and he’s treating me like that. I thought if i mentioned his dad he would realize how he’s been treating me. But of course he said “i kiss you and hug you and try and compliment you what more can I do for you”. Later on I asked him what HE wants to do and he just kept telling me to leave him and that he doesn’t care and i’m blinded by toxic love, after awhile I thought about it and I said “well maybe it’s for the best then, maybe we should break up” and then he said how he was crying and he regrets everything and how he wants to think about it
it’s annoying how i was originally the one who brought this up and now it’s him making the decision, he embarrasses me in front of his friends, says I have a big forehead, and just degrades me and makes me feel small for being in lower classes than him and i’m tired of it but I feel like I still love him and that he’s the love of my life
I’m still young but i’m so stuck rn. Not to mention he said i’m like a drug. He makes fun of my periods, and I almost had an eating disorder and he just told me how he thinks i’m faking it.

WHAT DO I DO?
