Does that make sense? Like, if you're not happy for him, how can he be happy to talk with you. I hear and get ALL of your side, totally understandable to be selfish.... just won't help showing him. Try distracting yourself & going out with friends for a couple days & reply minimally to him, supportive, positive things, so he knows you're there but not waiting on him and see if he starts wanting to stick to your agreement when he's the one left waiting. I have a couple friends that are my replacement / distraction for when I am in a similar situations with my bf and usually within a day he is asking to skype me and can't wait to see me.
Feel for you :*(
No matter how you look at this the LTR thing is GOOD FOR YOU! here is why, you are more dependent on him than he is on you. What kind of man would tell you that he has not called you because he is watching a movie? In my most direct moment of blatant truthfulness I would have been more gentle than that. You deserve better than that. Yes, take a step back from this and then take another step back, and then maybe another. This was good for you for one reason, you need to learn to be independent.
When he calls (and he will) be sweet and friendly and your usual endearing self. Don't apologize for anything. Let him keep up his end of the agreement as you keep up yours. If he doesn't call for a while you have some decisions to make. But don't be hurt, and try not to act hurt or be hurtful or resentful. Be strong in yourself and find other friendships or relationships, or reading or work to keep yourself occupied and to reinforce your own self worth!
