by any chance is your guy chinese? if he is.. then you really can't take the work off him.. it's basically in their nature already... they are stubbornly workaholic in nature.. (for most filipino chinese I know )

The only thing I could advise to you is to extend more effort to reach him.. if he was born that way (as a workaholic guy) then there's nothing you can really do but stick or just dish the relationship out

Don't forget also your intuition.. Guys no matter how busy they are.. will always have time for their girlfriends /wife (if they truly love them).. I don't mean to put you off the shelf or be brunt about it. But if your guy is busy.. he may not be busy w/ his work alone.. but maybe busy in another's lap..

Trust your instincts and learn when it's time to still hold on and when it's time to just let it go and move on...
