I feel like I am growing apart from my boyfriend of one year, don't know what to do

...See more Hi everyone, This could be quite a long post so sorry in advance! As the title says, I feel like I am growing apart from my boyfriend of one year, he is a great guy and we never had any serious issues up until now, in the last two or maybe three months I felt like we are starting to grow distant as he is always prioritizing spending time with his friends rather than hanging out with me, for example, we used to chat on the phone for at least one hour each day (we live in two different cities so we can't hang out in person often), but in the last few months we basically stopped doing that, If I ask him to just hang out on the phone and chat he says that he's busy, but then goes on Discord with his friends literally two minutes after he said that he was "busy doing stuff", so basically now we are only talking through text which sucks because I miss talking to him on Discord or on the phone, and we haven't seen each other in person lately because he is busy with school work, and speaking of that, he regularly hang out with friends during this time even though he said that he was "too focused on studying", so basically, it looks like he has time for everything but me as of now. I brought up the subject multiple times and he acknowledged my feelings, he said that he is sorry but he needs a little bit of space, and I understand that, however I feel like I am neglected and taking for granted, which is something that makes me feel sick, I've been considering ending the relationship because of this but I don't know If I am overreacting, I have some attachment issues due to my anxious attachment style ( I used to be in therapy but I had to quit because I lost my job, but I am starting a new job soon and I am really looking forward to starting therapy again) so maybe that plays an huge part in this, I don't know what I should do and If I am just overreacting :( I also don't have that many friends so maybe I am leaning too much on him, that could be a possibility
