This is kinda long but please read. Ineed some advice.

OK so for months now I have been asking my boyfriend of almost 3 years to spend time with me. He works a split shift, which is like 8am-12pm then 6pm-8pm. Not long hours but what he does is kinda body tiring.and with his job he can choose days off or not go in the evenings, as long ad he doesn't get behind. So after he gets off of work he'll come home, eat, lay down and sleep until it's time for him to go back to work. He'll then go to work, come home, eat then go to bed. When we go to bed, I'll ask him to talk to me...I don't care what the topic is, I just want to hear his voice bc night times for some reason I get extremely lonely and him talking to me makes me feel better. My answer he gives me all the time is either I ain't got nothing to talk about or I'm tired. Even when i bring up topics the only answers i get are yeah, yes or no answers or he'll eventually say I'm tired and go to sleep. So yesterday morning he goes to work. Afterwards his boss and some of his coworkers decide to go fishing, which I'm ok with him hanging out with his friends. The thing is is he stayed gone all day long. He gets back from fishing at about 11pm and says he was going to watch a movie with me to spend time with me so I'm like ecstatic,even though I'm tired, bc that's all I want is just a little time together. So he comes home, takes a shower, eats and goes to bed. Before he climbs in to bed i ask him if we are still watching a movie and he says no. So I'm bummed again. Before he went to bed I ask him when can I have my day? He says I don't know. Thing is is why can you stay awake all day long with them but i can't even get you to watch the baby long enough while i take a shower? Then this morning he's talking about leaving town with his friends this weekend to go hang out with them, go out to eat and maybe go to the beach. There have been times when we've planned a family day and his friends end up coming over and he hangs out with them the whole time. I took him to work this morning and found out he doesn't have to work today. He asks if I'll go to his mom and grandmother's place so they can see the baby so we go. He gets out and says he's going to stay there and spend some time with them, which he sees them literary everyday after work. I ask why don't you come home with me so we can spend time together and he jumps down my throat saying I'm not going to be at that house all day long and walks off while his grandmother is looking at me like I'm crazy. I'm so tired of begging him to spend time with me. I don't know what to do. I've talked to him about how i feel but it doesn't do any good. I'll tell him about me being lonely and he'll say well i can't control how you feel. Only you can. Even when i was sick with strep, i had a 104.1 fever and he wouldn't even watch the kids long enough for me to rest or go to the hospital. He acts like he doesn't care about me at all but he says he does. In the 3year period we've been together he has bought me 1thing...this includes Christmas, birthdays, etc. Don't get me wrong in not avery materialistic woman but being shown that you're appreciated is nice. Every chance iget i buy him and my kids something. My shoes are so tore up that the soles of them are taring off and he won't even get me a pair of shoes. He says he needs to save his money for the kids, which he does do for them. I'd buy me a pair myself but I only make 346 a month and I need to use that on my kids and I'd prefer for them to not need anything than for me to have. I seriously don't know what to do. I don't want to end the relationship over something like this. Any suggestions?
