 What you should do is talk to him, honestly and directly, about how you feel, and break up with him if you can't give him what he needs. If you're direct and sincere, and your actions match your words, he will have an easier time accepting this than if you let the problem fester. If you break up with him, don't offer friendship; this is not what he wants, and you'll break his heart. Don't refuse any contact with him, either, but make it clear you're with him out of human respect, only; make sure he doesn't get any false hope.
And, for the future, don't get into rebound relationships. You can see the problems they create. This guy will end up hurt, no matter what you do. He doesn't deserve that; but he deserves even less to keep trying to be with you if you don't love him. Let him have his own life.
