Relationship blues

Last night I got into a upsetting conversation with my boyfriend of ⁷ yrs. We hes still separated from his ex wife and not divorced. And are relationship has never moved forward. And with him being the only one working right now claims cant afford to move forward on one paycheck but hes he was married before with a kid and only one worked. I feel as if he really wanted to he would have found a way to move forward in are relationship in some way. But he basically told me things may not change for awhile and he understands for me to move on. I'm so depressed I don't know what to do or say.
