You said he gets away with his emotional game playing though - I call him out on his crap every single time. So, he does NOT get away with ANYTHING with me. Quite the opposite - I call him on his disrespectful comments, on his manipulations, his projections, his blame, and each and every time he falsely accuses me. I called him out this morning for showing up at my apartment without asking me first. I told him that shows no respect and is total disregard for MY SPACE.

Perhaps it's the way I interpreted your post, but it came across to me as though I am some kind of doormat who has allowed him to walk all over me, when I haven’t. I stand up for myself and I fight back - with every instance of disrespect.
