So to have someone come along and actually care what happens to you and believe you can do better means a lot. I just don't want to lose that. With him pulling away, all it does is show me once again that I'm not worth anyone caring about.

It's not nice behaviour to walk away from someone without explaining why, I have had it happen a couple of times in my life to me and I'm ashamed to admit in the past I did it to others a couple of times. Whatever the reason is the other person is always left wondering why.
Please know that in all likelihood this reflects upon him so much more than you, he hasn't had the decency to explain his actions and reasons (which may well be disconnected to you). Your worth is not measured by others opinions and treatments of you, true self-worth is something you can build within yourself. You might find the self esteem forum here helpful with that.
Here is a link on that forum to a thread on self-compassion which I found very insightful:
