Grammar
Someone please check my grammar in the following sentence.
"It is I who has been neglecting you."
It just doesn't look right to me and my grammar is wrong 90% of the time.
Someone please help me?

It's right. And it doesn't look right to me either! Nor to a lot of people.

That's why the more colloquial
I'm the one who's been neglecting you.
is probably more commonly heard.

AnonymousTo me, "It is I who has been neglecting you" is incorrect.
"It is I who has been neglecting you."
It should be: "It is I who have been neglecting you."
The verb should be 'have' to agree with pronoun 'I'?
