<human>: He's never verbally expressed that it bothers him when I try to contact him via phone but his actions prove he has very little care about it. I've brought it up a few times and for a day he'll respond to texts and answer the phone then he immediately reverts back to not caring about either. He won't call me back either if it was a legit bad time that I called or something.

It's a long distance relationship and imo the staple of keeping the relationship going in this situation is staying in touch whenever possible and checking in with each other once a day. We've been together a year and iirc he was a lot better about responding in the beginning.

I'm not at all worried that he's cheating or doesn't love me, but I'm having a hard time not feeling neglected, unappreciated, and not respected. Should I just stop bothering to contact him and accept that he's just going to be disrespectful and ignore it anyway? Like I said, I've tried to talk to him about it and told him how it makes me feel but with no results.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: my bf doesn't bother to respond to my messages/calls and it's starting to hurt my feelings and makes me want to stop putting effort in since he isn't
