Bf entering a new stage in his life

Is it possible to still want someone & have them around while entering another stage in your life? My bf lately always sees & gangs out with his friends & coworkers. Let me tell you the coworkers arent the best influences. he hardly has time for me now. Let alone do we text like before. He is hardly affectionate now let alone tries to make the convo Interesting. I’m always here trying to communicate w him & he seems to be in his own world. I asked him yesterday when I saw him, if he still loves me & he said “duh & I’m not gonna stop”. But like his actions kinda show otherwise. I feel like he is liking having all that freedom with his friends. & I don’t hold him back but like then what about me?

Any advice? What does this sound like to y’all?
