Well, recently I am going through the same thing. I live with my boyfriend and now all of a sudden he had fly out of town so naturally he got busy and for first few days I was really upset about it as well but he told me that I am busy but as soon as I get time I will text you. My advice to you is that give him some space and time because if you keep pushing it then that might lead into arguments. Just text him saying that whenever you’re free, do text me. I’ll be waiting and I’m sure he will understand as well

That is quite frustrating and i can relate to how you might be feeling. For starters, being completely honest, it can be due to various reasons including he might be no longer interested in you, he might be having some personal troubles or a hectic routine etc. Since i do not know of your full context and the underlying circumstances, i would only suggest trying to talk it out with him and sorting the situations so you can get some clarifications regarding the matter. Prolonging it like this, i fear, might only be more hurtful for you in the long run and a mutual understanding is the basic pillar of a healthy relationship.

It can be a sign of uninterest or it can be signs that he needs attention. We, humans, have a natural instinct to quickly assume reasons that may or may not be the possible answer to the event but it happens even if we avoid it. So, we meet with the person personally and discuss the situation to remove unwanted assumptions, this can help us express ourselves and show that we value our relationship and is trying to remain committed. Maybe, ask about what made him feel this way, this can help provide a stepping-stone in discussing the situation further. :)
