Is this man taking advantage?

Ive been dating a man for a year. It hasn't been plain sailing, we both have kids, divorced, jobs etc

I understand that in our life situations our relationship is not top priority, work, kids etc come first. He says he loves me and I love him. I'm a bit worried though that its all very convenient for him.

Recently he started a new job and so for the past month has pretty much said he wants me to make all the effort to travel to see him. We used to see each other two nights a week, one at each of our houses. Now its one night a week at his unless I'm willing to travel to him on both. We live 40 miles from each other, about 40 minutes drive each way. When I go to him he makes dinner, makes me welcome, says I can stay the day after to wfh at his if I would like to.

His job requires him to be on conference calls in his office very early sometimes (7am) which is his reason for me having to do all the travel, he leaves me sleeping. Would you be willing to do all the travel? I'm not sure if I'm being fussy about this, we rarely go out anywhere, I enjoy his company but would prefer to see more effort from him. Am I being a doormat or is it no big deal for one person to do all the driving?

Can't see why he doesn't get up earlier once a week at least and come to you if it's supposed to be a relationship.
It's all one way OP. His way.
