Am I bejng unreasonable?

D

Ever since my boyfriend moved across the country, we’ve been trying to make things work long distance until I make it out there (some of you may know because I’ve posted about it before). The problem is, ever since he’s been gone, he’s only made time to call me when he wakes up and when he goes to bed, which lasts about 10 minutes MAX each. He’s three hours behind now, so that means I get a call in my time zone around 1PM and then a call around 1 or 2AM. He doesn’t really respond to my texts and if I do call, he rushes off the phone to tend to whatever he’s doing with his roommates. He doesn’t work at the moment so he has a ton of free time.

I expressed how unfair it is, several times, that I have to be the one to wait for his calls and he never compromises by waking up early to wish me a good morning, to call me earlier before I go to bed, or to even text me during the day so that we are both satisfied.

He says that he’s busy creating with his roommates and he literally has no time for me. These new roommates of his has become his top priority. For example, if he says he’ll call me at a certain time, hours beyond that time, I’ll finally get a call back with him saying “sorry, babe, I was on a walk with Mike” or “sorry babe, I was drawing and listening to music with Connor for the last seven hours and forgot to call”. I’d totally understand if he was working or actually busy, but in his leisure time, he never thinks to call, and these are his words.

We got into an argument about it a week ago and he said that he promised that he’d call me every day at 12PM for one full hour uninterrupted. He said that he could not risk losing me over this and he’d do anything to make me happy.

Literally nothing has changed. I talked to him for 9 minutes total yesterday. We talked for 8 minutes and then he told me at 1PM that he was jumping in the shower and he’d call right back. I didn’t get a call back until 9PM. I expressed my issues and he snapped on me and said that I was being unreasonable because he called me right back 8 hours later.

He hung up in my face and sent this text:

I haven’t even processed the hurt. He’s been on social media all night and seems extremely unbothered. I want to cry so bad but I’m working and have had to tuck my emotions in. I just don’t feel important and on top of my depression and anxiety, I really feel like this is all going to come crashing in the worst way.

Sisters, please help me. I need advice or some reassurance— something. I am really devastated right now.
