I have to say that to me, it sounds like you are (or have been moved to) poop-scooper friend. The good ole' standby who can be depended on to listen to the whining, and then when things are fun and fine, he has no time for you. The fact that he only seems to talk to you when things are not good between them is a bit of a flag.
I have friends like this, I call them "Bad-weather friends", opposite of "Fair-weather friends". Mine are mostly girls, but yeah. I get really sick of being the support system, dispensing the great advice, but not the person they just go out to the movies with or whatever. Basically, they're takers. I'm a giver--but I'm not a one-way street anymore. I'd suggest you do the same thing.
On the less-drastic side, realize that the infatuation stage can be really strong, and just hold friends with an open hand. They come, they go, sometimes they come back.
