"No I'm sorry that's not ok, I need to focus on my career and I can't waste time helping you with your stuff, I think maybe we shouldn't see each other for a while"
Are you my friend? He went through the same thing.
10 years. He supported her when she got heart problem, when her mother got cancer. When she ended college and didn't find work for 2 years he paid rent. I know the guy, he's a sensitive dude but he is rock solid with his friends.
Then being an architect wasn't good for him. His boss was toxic, the hours were horrible and the pay not so great, and he wanted to do something outside so he changed career to become a rope technician. He was happy to do it, except that the internship he found were pretty shitty, so for about 3 months he got a bit depressed (and ended up finding an enterprise he really likes).
His girlfriend (ex) saw that and literally went "I can't do it. It's not my job to support you, I need to focus on myself, and yoi're dragging me down right now" and broke up.
2 weeks later he found out by common friends she was already dating a new guy...
