Just need a place to vent.

Long story short, I've been with my guy for a little over 3 months now. We're a long distance relationship, and we don't get to see each other very often. In the beginning, we would text and talk all the time. We've talked about getting married, and about a month ago, he even gave me his ring. But as time went on, we would talk less and less, sometimes going a day without hearing from each other . We've talked about it, and he said that he's just very bad at keeping in touch with people (including friends, family, gfs, etc.), especially when things gets busy (he had started a new job around this time) I talked to one of my friends about it, and she said to just focus on me, and give him time to respond (which normally works) Usually I'm fine, but I just really miss him rn. I just wanna know I'm not the only person dealing with this, and how other people handle it. Thanks.
