| Don't romanticize things: He's a douche and it's not because he wants to be with you. He's trying to protect his pride and masculinity in the best way that he can, which happens to be by staking claim on something that he considers his. Note: Men don't naturally protect women; they naturally claim them. It just so happens that women are content with being inferior and feel "protected" when they're being claimed.
If you're tired of being treated like trash, then don't deal with him. Forget your feelings for him. Those things will go away, but if you submit to his dominance then that's just a win on his part, and he'll continue trying to do those things.
And on the note of the guy you're currently dating: There's something wrong there. Either you're not communicating with him enough about not wanting sex or he actually wants a relationship. Because honestly, a guy won't waste his time on a girl if he only wants that and knows that he won't get any. If it's neither of those, then it seems like you're just leading him on, which is wrong.
You seem really naive about all of this. I think that you should spend time away from relationships to establish yourself as a person more, rather than a girlfriend. Going into a relationship without having a good sense of self will only hurt you in the end because when things end, you won't know what parts of you are you and what parts are the other person. Read up on the psychology of relationships and breakups. Even when you're young, those things can cause a lot of psychological and emotional harm. Especially when you're young, because you're so emotionally immature.
Relationships are all about psychology in the end, so if you don't understand your own psychology, then don't even think about being happy with someone else. They aren't anything like the movies/manga/anime where "just seeing them smile" is sufficient - trust me, I've been down that road. Don't buy into the media bullshit.
Note that I'm not saying all of this to attack you; I'm just a "brutally honest" person. If you find my word choice too harsh, then I understand that, but that's just how it is. I could sit here and console you and make you think that everything's okay and it's all out of love, or tell you what's most likely going on.
