Search Results: friend''s girlfriend comes to me

I was seeing a guy for 2 months and we were crazy about each other or so I thought. 2 weeks ago he ended things because he said he had to go back home (he lives overseas) due to a parent being sick. He told me we had to say bye now despite him leaving in a few weeks because his feelings would only grow and it would hurt. We said bye and he continued to message me everyday and even kissed me once.

We didn't talk for 2 days then today my friend sent me a photo of him and his ex girlfriend with his arm around her. He messaged me 3 times and I ignored all messages and he kept sending more asking why I was ignoring him. I sent him the photo and said I wasn’t mad but I need to move on and I wish him all the best.
He kept sending messages over and over and eventually I replied saying what’s the real reason you ended things and he said it was the truth and he said he told me weeks ago his feelings changed a bit. (If I knew that I would have let him go sooner). I told him all good and again all the best. He keeps messaging me

He said his feelings changed ages ago but his actions say otherwise does he like me?
He still goes to my gym too despite quitting his job which was the reason he joined. He lives an hour away from gym and still comes.

I've been with my boyfriend for over 11 months and it's coming to the point where I can't take his behavior anymore.
Whenever we are with each other, it's decent. I feel happy. But we don't see each other often. Then there are times when we don't see each other where he doesn't give me much attention. He knows I need attention but sometimes he doesn't reciprocate with me. I feel like I do most of the work with the texting, genuinely wanting to talk, etc. I get it we both have lives outside of the relationship but I feel like it doesn't mean you have to completely shut out your partner on days you are busy. You should at least say something. But with him I always get the vibe of "oh the gym first", "oh work first", "oh friends first"... when it comes to being in a relationship, yes you make all of those things a priority but you also should give your girlfriend a chance to be high in the list as well and balance everything out.
And I feel like I do more for him than he does for me. For example, I'm naturally a loving and caring person. I love saying goodnight I love you but then last night he didn't respond to it.
Guessing he was busy... but still it hurts. And I want to do so much for his birthday and I'm trying so hard but for my birthday he just said happy birthday and didn't give me anything making me feel quite shitty...
So what should I do? I've discussed my issues with him beforehand but it seems like nothing seems to be fixed and he can't change. He tells me he loves me all the time though.
