If you used the breakup with him to try and make him more passionate about you then stop that kind of passive agressivness in future and just tell him what you would like to see from him and if it doesn't improve after you outright ask for what you want, then break up with him and actually mean it and not just be using it for a stategy to keep him by hoping he'll be all over you thinkinghe's going to lose you.
it is quite obvious by your discription of your relationship that he was not wholly into nurturing it and he was not very keen on whether or not you were with him or not. I suspect that he just said enough to keep you around for when he wanted something and then once he got it he went back to being apathetic and non-caring.
You're better off without him even talking to you again because if he does, I suspect you'll allow yourself back with him only to be treated the same way.
Learn to communicate your needs and if after clearly stating what you want, he does not improve on showing you in actions that he loves and cares for you then just break it off and stop wishing your tactics make him want you. You can't make someone care, they have to volunteer for that job. He certainly wasn't doing much of anything.
