📝 AITA for breaking up with him for changing his flight tickets?

I (F23) have been with my bf for the last 6 months but we've also been best friends for the last 4 years. We are studying together at the same uni (+same field) and we usually see each other every day.

Due to the easter holidays we r back to our homeland for the last 5 days during which despite promising me that he will visit me, he later on refused to (2h distance) bc he is "too bored to be at the bus alone." (Note: no driving licence + parents can't give him a lift). Keep in mind that i vitited him twice at xmas holidays (last time we were at our homeland for 1w).

One day prior to our flight he called me and told me he will change his flight tickets and stay another 5 days because he "didn't rest enough"

Note that he told me that he will come back with me if we go on a trip during the weekend, which i refused bc my mother will also be there till the weekend. He asked for my opinion (reminder: 1d before our scheduled flight) for what to do and if he will have an issue with the uni. My answer was that if i was in his place i wouldn't do it.

1h later he called telling me he rebooked his flight for the weekend and mentioned that he has many obligations, including staying/visiting at his grandma's for more days despite being with her the whole last 5 days.

I reacted beacuse it seemed that he made up excuses for not including me in his schedule AGAIN.

Also, he mocked me by telling me that i overreact and that he is just kidding and we are going to flight together tomorrow and then, 30m later he showed me the rebooked tickets (which were booked 3h prior).

Take in consider that prior visiting our homeland he took a trip to another continent for 10d. So we haven't seen each other for 17 days now. (These 10d he left me his apt keys for me to clean up the mess bc "we are sleeping together and i HAVE TO" - which i did).

I feel like he doesn't take in consider my needs, and does not want to make time for us. Sometimes i think that he just live his life as he wants (as a single man) and in his free time i am there to fill up his days. What do you think?

Notable past behaviors:

1)He went to the other continent for a conference and 3 days after reassuring me that everything will be ok and he will keep contact etc. he posted an insta story with another woman that could be considered flirtatious.

2)We scheduled to visit him with my bestfriend and her bf during the xmas holidays and he insisted to invite us to his home. Once we got there he told me that we can only stay for 30m (bc he had to go and visit his cousin with his parents).

3)He casually invites me to eat at his student apt and then asks me to give him 50% of the meal he cooks.

4)He invited me for Valentine's day to cook for me (a meal that he choosed and was quite expensive) and afterwards he asked me to split the bill.

5)He casually spends lots of money for his hobby (in the thousands) but he always seems to be stingy when it comes to me or going on a trip w/me (note: the trip on the other continent was fully covered by an org).
