How can I save my relationship?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year now. As of now, we see each other on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday) because he works in the weekdays and I have school, although I only have class 3 days a week. He tells me that we don't spend enough time together and that in order for him to develop deeper feelings we need to see each other more often. I agree but sometimes we are unable to see each other because he has other things to do on the weekends, which is the only time that seems to work for both of us. He insists that I spend the night at his place to supplement for the weekends, but I can't because my mom is extremely strict and gives me a curfew and does not allow me to stay out. (I am 23 years old by the way). I feel stuck because I want to please my mom and do what she says, but I also want to please him and stay. I don't know what to do and he's beginning to get frustrated with me.

You could talk on the phone! You don’t necessarily need to see each other all the time. In my last relationship, he lived a couple hours away from me so we called each other a lot and that really built feelings. He would even call me while he was on his break, even though we lived together during that time.

He doesn’t like talking on the phone :( he’s a bad texter and he only calls me maybe once a week on his way home from work.

yes! that's exactly how I feel and it sucks so much because COVID just makes it even harder to spend time together.
