First, get a lock for the door. Then start a tradition wherein you "take a nap" when you get home from your hard day at work. When (or before) he starts bugging you just say your're beat and are going to take a nap then close and lock the door when he exits. Then just quietly amuse yourself for the evening. You could wear headphones for music/television/video games and the like. After this guy gets to know your routine you probably won't even have to keep up the ruse as he'll just expect you to come home and immediately take your "nap". Its admittedly a drag to have to resort to subterfuge to get some alone time but I've had mates like the one you're talking about. If you're honest with them they get bent out shape or have hurt feelings so you find ways to work around their issues to avoid more grief.
