<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Original post can be found [here](

So I ended up confronting my BF about why he didn't get me a birthday card or anything like that. He told me he had planned a birthday present for me and then messed it up, and then felt really awkward about it so he didn't bring it up when he was here last weekend. I'm honestly doubting that I will get any sort of birthday present/card at all at this point, just based on knowing what his personality is like. 

I feel like this would be excusable considering he did supposedly make *some* effort, but unfortunately I feel like the relationship is not very balanced in general. He's really forgetful (which I know isn't really his fault) and I had to remind him when my birthday was three or four times beforehand. He is also really really bad at communicating, which is kind of a problem since we are long-distance. Getting him to text me back is like pulling teeth. I used to try and remind him to text me back, but it's now been four days since we had the above conversation and he has not tried to contact me at all. I'm getting a little fed up with it.

He also hasn't really made much effort to prioritize things that are important to me. For example, I'm a writer and I write for a website. He expressed excitement about it at first but I know that he hasn't looked at my stuff at all. 

We haven't been dating for all that long but honestly I'm not sure how much longer I can put up with all of this stuff. He is a really great guy in general and I felt like we had a lot of potential earlier on but I don't think I could put up with feeling like I'm really not a priority for him and I'm starting to resent him for it.
<bot>: Starting to feel like I'm not really a priority for my BF and I'm resenting him for it. Not sure if I should try to save the relationship or if it's pointless to try to change him...
