What’s going on here?

I (19F) have been in a relationship with my boyfriend (21M) for a little over 3 and half years. We were planning to move in together, but he recently canceled those plans for justifiable reasons. We’ve talked it out and generally have moved on, but now things are just...off.

He works second shift and I work first shift so our communication has always been a bit wonky but has never been much of a problem until now. Constantly leaves me on read, won’t reply to me unless it’s a simple comment on a Snapchat story. I generally don’t mind not texting often, but it’s gotten to the point where I feel like we don’t talk at all. When I do ask when I might be able to see him again he simply brushes the question off and makes excuses about being busy with work.

Should I be concerned? I would like to talk to him about it but I don’t know how to approach the subject without seeming too “needy”.

(Also on mobile so apologize for formatting, etc.)
