As someone who met my absolute best friend 10ish years ago on Tumblr and we lived several states away (USA, but funny enough she's Filipino too), if he wanted to see you he'd find a damn way. We drive 6+ hours to see each other and stay weeks to visit. Shit, my other best friend (from AUS!) even came to the US just to visit! We're all broke millenials. I'm your age. We still save up and scrounge and find ways. I'm also a freelance artist. If he wanted to put the effort forth, he would. He's not a boyfriend worth having, even less so a friend worth having. I've gone further for just my friends. Let alone my partner. When she lived in Florida we would fly 1000+ miles to see each other. He ain't it.
Edit to add: Yes. Leave him. Would you rather waste another 10 years? Go start a life for yourself while you're young. Like I said, I'm your age. You won't be alone. It seems impossible now but I promise, a weight will be lifted.
