Is this relationship worth waiting on?

I met this man over the internet and we have been in a relationship for over three years. We don't see each other often because he is a workaholic and I have health issues that don't allow me to travel. (I've checked him out, googled him, am sure he is not scamming me, etc., just to get those issues out of the way.) My major problem is that I feel that I am the lowest priority in his life. He owns a small business and employs several family members so his job and his family are intertwined.He works literally about 16 hours a day. It just frustrates me terribly that two or three days may pass without hearing from him. He gets sick and doesn't tell me about it, doesn't return phone calls or texts.,etc. We have talked about me moving to his area and possibly getting married, but I worry that I will end up more lonely out there because I will be leaving my support system of friends and family behind. How do I assess whether this relationship is worth holding onto?

    He sounds like an asshole. I'm sorry, but his girlfriend should be his first priority not his last. If he doesn't even take the time of day to call/text you back then he is not worth it. Yeah he may be busy, but you can't ever be too busy to call or text the person you "love". Personally, if i was in your position i would've given him the flick a while ago if he's gonna be like that. Especially not telling you when he's sick.

    Well that's just my advice, hope it all works out for you

    Sorry but after 3 years if you are not his first priority, you never will be

    If he owns a business with family members working there, he should at least be able to get away for a week to come and visit you if he really cared about you. He's not running a business on his own. He has family members there so he should be able to take a few days off and trust that things will run smoothly
