 I'm greek and well....greek guys usually don't know what they want! In his parents mind,he's better off with a greek girl.Try learning somethings about the greek history,mythology and culture.Show him you're making an effort.you dont know how much he will appreciate it! Greeks are passionate about greek stuff.He won't see you as a "simple,american girl" anymore.
Example : Tell him you wanna meet at the park and bring him gyros with tzatziki,french fries,tomato and onions. Get one for yourself and share a greek salad.
I know it sounds silly but hey,you said your guy is greek so here are some tips!

 My first advice would be to find a more mature boyfriend and stop waiting around for him to get a clue!
Seriously, you can't change him -- you can't change anyone (and the sooner you realize that, the better your life will be). People will be the person they were born to be; some are calm and thoughtful, others are all fire and arguments. He seems to be more of the second... and he will have to deal with the consequences of that personality... and he will either mature and realize that he can't go on being like that throughout his life, or he will continue and be a lonely guy.
For you, I would suggest your first inclination to separate from him was a good choice. Yes, you may love him deeply, but is all that pain and disrespect worth it? I don't think so.
