Should I stop responding?

Been seeing this guy for a while. We had a fight and have made up but haven’t seen each other in a month. I know he’s busy, but he flaked on plans we made and never offered to reschedule. Before he‘d see me once a week. I got insecure and feel like I may have guilt tripped him into continuing to speak to me.

He’ll text me 1-8 times a day, and he’s not dry at all, but I just feel like I’m bothering him due to how little he responds. He mainly gives updates on his life and doesn’t ask about mine a lot. Idk I just feel like this is a slow death. He use to respond roughly every 2-6 hours and I was fine with that. IDK what to do. I get so anxious when a day has gone by and he hasn’t opened my message, or when I see another week has gone by and he still hasn’t tried to make plans with me.

At the same time I keep telling myself “ what if he really is just super busy and I’m throwing away a good thing?”. I feel like I wouldn’t care as much if there hadn‘t been a drastic shift in communication/hanging out. My instincts are screaming at me that he’s gonna ghost and I want to do it first.
