well i think he jus doesnt want his girlfriend to think that you guy are doing something. he loves you too but he dont know how to act. talk to him and tell him that isnt rite how he tries to treat you and remind him that you two are no longer together so he needs to respect you

Assertiveness.

Correct him when he treats you badly and tell him the consequences if he continues.

This is going to be hard for you and him also, it sounds like your roles are deeply engrained.
