So I'm talking to my ex again and we both have different work schedules which is why we don't hangout much. But it feels to me like in the beginning he was super interested in me and he was making all these promises which i i didn't believe anyways but he made me feel super loved and cared for.

And he's told me that he doesn't text much which is fine because i don't either tbh but he barely talks to me all day. And if he's busy i don't expect a full blow conversation but he doesn't think to maybe check one throughout the day? Cause I'll check on him but it's never reciprocated.

Idk like i don't feel very loved or cared for when he's not around. And well i was gonna end it yesterday but i just felt guilty because i didn't want it to seem like i gave up on the relationship so easily so i said "i love you but we don't communicate a lot and it bothers me." And well he said that he's sorry because he's just been trying to find a new job because he just quit his. Which is true, but he quit his job just yesterday and this has been going on for days.

And well i told him "you just quit your job yesterday tho... But ok i understand." And he said it's also because of work he can't text me or see me then just changed the subject. And i understand being busy about work but i work 40 hrs a week and even i make the time for him?? Like he doesn't work 24/7??

Idk so now i feel guilty confronting him about not treating me like i deserve because he just lost his job and is figuring out how to pay his rent, and i don't want him to think I'm leaving him when he's in a bad place. Or i don't want him to think I'm trying to argue. Like i know he will be okay because he's just that type of person, but i feel bad.

Idk honestly i thought i was ready for a relationship but I'm tired of receiving the minimum and then having trouble setting healthy boundaries to for myself. Can someone please give me advice? Should i wait til after he's found a job? Is ok for me to leave because i don't feel like I'm being treated the way i deserve to? Am i being selfish?
