You're talented and hardworking. Stop taking this crap and ask him to meet your reasonable demands or leave.
I'm sure someone on HN here would be more than glad to hire you for another startup.

Edit: reading some of the other comments, with respect to being too soft. Perhaps it would be worth consulting a lawyer, and let them do the dirty work. Being too soft and letting other people take advantage for you could be a good reason for hiring a hard-nosed lawyer.
The danger might be to be taken advantage of by the lawyer, too. But my mother actually once had a lawyer get her a lot of money from her employer, and he said "it is not only important because of the money, but because of you". I was really impressed by that - certainly dragging this nagging feeling around that you are a loser also takes it's toll, so fighting it out might be worth it.
If anyone on HN is hiring or looking to keep some extra talent in mind I would love to talk to you. I am very good at a select few things: UI Design, PHP (Specifically CakePHP), XHTML/CSS, and Problem Solving. I am also okay and very comfortable with Subversion and MySQL.I have a passion for the web and automation. You can contact me via HN or at: nowjobhunting@gmail.com
