At some point, you have to ask if you're in the relationship alone.
Last time I was with a guy who had no time for me, it ended.
Relationships take involvement, support, and caring.
If you don't get any of that for an extended period of time, then of course you have to question if the way it's working is enough for you.
It could be that this comes and goes in phases, but it's up to you to work out whether having these recurrent phases is something you can deal with and want for yourself.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
