Am I too sensitive about this and ask for too much?

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years, we’re in our 20s and we have a great relationship overall. We usually see each other twice a week, he comes to mine once during the week and I go to his on the weekend, so we don’t really spend a ton of time together like other couples do, I need my space and so does he.

Anyway, he is REALLY bad at texting. We never phone call or facetime each other unless it’s an emergency, we’re just not big fans of phone calls so unless we see each other, our communication is um... quite bad I’d say. I get that people are not glued to their phones all day, but it really gets to me how I see him active on socials but he won’t reply to me. Sometimes he sends me as little as 5-6 texts a day, which 3 of them are along the lines of “hey how are you I love you”. He unfortunately lost his job due to Covid, he’s been unemployed for around 5-6 months now and I’m on furlough until everything opens back up, so it’s not like he has a ton of things to do and he’s too busy to take 10 seconds and reply to me. I don’t spam him, I just send him that one text and wait for a reply. I brought this up to him before, in fact I did it around 2 weeks ago again. I get that he’s not on his phone a lot, but being at home all day it really doesn’t take much time at all to pick up his phone and reply... it just makes me feel like he doesn’t want to talk to me or has lost interest, especially because we don’t spend a lot of time together anyway because we’re still in lockdown and I’m also busy with my dissertation. His usual excuse is “sorry I didn’t see you texted” or “sorry I forgot to reply” but like... you see 2-3 hours go past and don’t bother to check if your girlfriend has even replied? That’s exactly why I don’t even bother telling him when I’m having a bad day because by the time he replies I probably already cried my eyes out and it doesn’t even matter anymore... When I bring it up he’s usually really apologetic and says he’ll try harder to talk to me, which he does for like a week (if that) then it all goes back to normal. Like I said, I get that not everyone is always on their phones, but I also feel like he should try and make it better since he knows it makes me feel like he’s straight up ignoring me sometimes. Am I being unreasonable?
