Is it too much to ask?

Is it too much for me to ask my boyfriend to communicate with me more regularly? We both are working adults, he’s in school and has clients but I feel like there are pockets of free moments in a day to check in. He’s agreed with me on that. There’s been a few times that I haven’t heard from him in over 10+ hours.

For example, he went home for thanksgiving. The day he came back we planned on me picking him up from the airport I hadn’t heard from him all day until he landed. I asked him about that and he said it was a lot going on for him, waking up late, saying goodbye to family, and friends etc. Which is all fine but I’m thinking how he couldn’t even send a message saying “boarding now, I’ll see you soon!” He hit me up when he arrived at the airport….I felt like an Uber driver. Then he just wanted me to drop him off at his place and not hangout after not seeing each other for 5 days…..

I don’t see him often throughout the week and so when we don’t see one another or talk it’s hard for me to feel close to him and it makes me feel like he doesn’t care about me.

I’ve told him about this once or twice before and it still happens. I just think if I don’t cross his mind throughout the day or he doesn’t acknowledge me until we meet up then why are we together? I’m sure he texts his friends and he certainly posts on social media as well….it’s just I feel neglected so idk.

I’m not saying we have to be in constant communication as I’m busy and so is he but i guess what I’m saying is how do I feel connected with someone that I don’t regularly or consistently hear from or see often? We’ve been together for 4 months.
