📝 AITAH for not considering my boyfriend's alone time my responsibility?

For context : he's 29, I'm 26. We met through a dating app 5 months ago, been dating for 2 months. We're currently doing long distance: we live 3 hours away from each other. He also lives alone atm, 700km away from his family.

I spent Easter with my family in my hometown. He had a last minute idea to visit his parents, but the flight tickets would've been insanely high, therefore he stayed at home. We talked over the phone yesterday, and when I asked him how his weekend was, he told me he felt quite lonely, didn't do much at all, and just stayed at home. He also made a comment about me being offline, suggesting he wishes I wasn't. This caught me off guard since he always tells me to enjoy time with my family, he doesn't expect me to be glued to my phone. We also texted every day, I didn't disappear. When I asked him how he rather would've wanted to spend Easter, he said with his family or me, or even with my family, but hopefully next year.

I now feel bad for him, knowing he felt this lonely. As his girlfriend I want to support him and know that he's alright. On the other hand, I'm also wondering, after being together for only 2 months, is it my job to make sure he's doing okay when we're on our own? I consider myself to be very independent, so even if I don't have people around me, I make sure that I'm feeling content and I organize activities for myself. Meaning I wouldn't rub it under my SO's nose if I'm feeling lonely
