Is it too much to ask for at least a call daily???

As the title says because rn I am pissed as hell with my boyfriend.

I asked him after work if we could call later. He was on call with his friends so I said its okay if later later as long as we can call. He said we call tomorrow.

I told him its like Im begging for his time everytime and he justified it by saying he only gets 6-7 hours of sleep a day. I work 12 hours average for 5 days a week and do full day uni classes for 2.

For context, we both work and go to uni. We text each other like once a day and usually at night. We barely see each other, say once a fortnight. Granted I feel unwanted.

I really can’t see why he cant at least make time for a 10 minute call when I can. Then again, maybe I am really being unreasonable.

Idk I feel so frustrated. Maybe it is just me being sensitive as fuck but I feel like an afterthought. I always thought a relationship was a partnership.

Like I agreed to be in this relationship because I feel like I would want to spend my time with him and get to know him more. I thought being in a relationship was a way to signal someone, hey I want to know you better because I am seeing myself building a life with you.

Is this not the case?? I am angry and pissed, mostly at myself. I feel so little yet I dont want to burn what little we have still going on because, unfortunately, I do want to see a future with him.

Am I just old fashioned? Should I calm down? I feel like everything is so one sided. I told my family about him because I genuinely thought I found my person.
