Boyfriend can't meet me again!! What shall I reply?

Not seen BF since Friday morning. Arranged to meet Friday eve and he cancelled feeling unwell.

Arranged to meet today. I had a big meeting this morning which he knows I'm anxious about.
I text that the meeting was over and it had been very long.

He replied - that he'd only found out that morning he had to take his son across the country somewhere and he would try to message me later.

He never asked about my meeting, although he has been supportive. I know family come first. But things like this are always happening.
Then he tells me he loves me and cannot imagine life without me etc. But his actions say otherwise.

How should I respond to this message? I'm really disappointed he's cancelled twice now but understand his children are a priority.

Should I ignore? I'm really anxious today and don't want to over react. But don't want to come across as sulky. What would you reply??

Text him back 'it sounds like you've got too much on to be in a relationship at the moment. Take care.'

This is absolutely ridiculous. Childish. Manipulative.

How is it manipulative? It's as frank as can be.

You could sing to him "when will I see you again?"

Because he's not too busy to be in a relationship, is he? He's been poorly, and today had to prioritise his son.

The response suggested screams out, "Don't put me first and I'll throw a childish hissy fit and dump you".

If I had to go and help a family member with something then got a message to say I was dumped because I couldn't make prearranged plans, I'd thank my lucky stars I'd got rid of somebody who they're the most important person in the world.
