My boyfriend neglects me

I’ve been with my boyfriend for 1 year and have gone through intense emotional neglect. He is very emotionally unavailable, if I’m upset he will say I’m over emotional or sensitive. He don’t talk things out with me he just stays quiet when there is an issue and never revisits the problem again. He doesn’t remember my boundaries, and therefore violates them. He never wants to see my family or spend time with my friends, but I’m always with his. He doesn’t even let me cook because he does it “better”. For so long I have felt so alone and invisible due to the neglect I’ve been going through. I have had symptoms of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I cry all the time randomly that my eye lids are swollen. I talked to him about this and he said he’ll get therapy but I don’t even think that will help. I’ve had to say I’m sorry countless times and over explain myself just to get silence and me sitting there guessing what is going on. I say everything on my mind only to be left alone and unattended too. I feel like to him my life doesn’t matter, my family or my background or past history doesn’t matter. It’s just all about him. All the time. Just a rant.
