This is a form of abuse, frankly. They know his behavior is wrong but they don't want to deal with it, and so they blame it on you for having a problem and not wanting to be hurt.

It's fine if they don't want to help. Just keep walking away from him and putting distance between the two of you. Either one day he will want to know why you aren't close and you can be honest and say "cause you're a ****" or he won't and you'll have space and be happy.
