SOME HELP FROM THE MEN and WOMEN PLEASE "BOYFRIEND" PROBLEM?

Overall, our relationship is great since it's fresh. However, I'm beginning to think that I won't be able to handle it in a long run. We live like 2 hours apart and he only have Saturday off, but I will move up there in another two months. His friends are very important to him and he have a lot of friends too. He wants to have every Sunday night to play card games because it's his hobby, and I respect that. I always thought that I'm more important than his friends, but I am starting to wonder if it's true. I won't be able to visit him this week because I will have family members from afar come visit. And he have this staff fun day every two weeks (staffs he work with everyday), and it happens to be this week, so if he won't visit me this week. We won't be able to see each other for 14 days. And he always said that he would miss me a lot, but he never suggest that he will cancel this staff fun day since it is every two weeks anyways. Instead he says will try to squeeze some times in to visit me. I know he wants to have both, but is it that hard to choose a gf you love and rarely see over staffs that you see everyday? He is a nice guy, he respect me, and give me lots of affection when he's with me. But I don't get it, like I love shopping and Sunday is my shopping day with my family, but if I know I won't be able to see him for such a long time, I would rather skip my Sunday shopping day and go visit him. So should I continue this relationship because I know that I can't handle being second or equally important to his friends? And is this how all men will behave when it comes to friends?
