Love Doesn't Pay the Bills

I dated a wonderful guy for 9 months, unfortunately we broke up. I decided to break things off because I felt like a burden in his life since he was working all the time trying to make ends meet, which I completely understood because he is an independent young man.

I felt like a weight because every time he had a day off, I felt like he was doing me a favor of seeing me instead of him actually doing it just because he WANTED to.

We had a great relationship, we got along quite well, rarely fought, it was a healthy relationship per se. I wish I had bad thoughts about this young man, but I don't and it's very hard to forget him due to all the memories we built together.

I haven't spoken to him for awhile now, the last time I spoke to him he said that he needed to get things straight and as well for me and that I hadn't lost him and he was still there. I haven't spoken to him since.

Not so long ago, I spoke to his best friend and he informed me that he still cared, but he specifically said, "Love doesn't pay the bills."
I'm pretty much appalled by this. I don't know how take this really. Any advice?
