If I wanted to be a showpiece for business "parties," & not have to work, sure. If you're playing second fiddle now at the start of the relationship where things are supposed to be quickly working towards their most hot & heavy before leveling out to a more regular pace, then there's little reason to believe you will ever become a top priority. Whether you continue depends entirely upon what you want from the relationship. If you're not getting anything close to it now, you likely never will.

    My plan is just to ignore her until she says she's on her way over. We've talked about it, and she just keeps insisting it's temporary. Now I'm working nights and she chooses to do most of her work during the day, so this might be the end. She was just tucking me into the end of the day as an afterthought as it was.

    It's not temporary. It's only going to get worse as time goes on and they feel less and less need to impress/prioritize you. She is front loading this so much because she's trying to make a get out of jail free card, when things get worse and you confront her about it months down the line.

    You're obviously not happy with this dude. Otherwise you would not looking this stuff up on google, you'd be rolling with it like it's not a big deal.
