Confused about what we are!

I’ve been talking to this guy now for about six months. His everything I see in a partner. Sadly, his been having some financial issues. I will be honest I was picking up the gaps where he fell short I stopped in September when we had a conversation about mostly how he felt like I was doing a lot for him but he was doing nothing for me. With that said he lost his biological father last week and his step dad a few months earlier. During this time he sent me this message. I’ve been having trouble wrapping my head around it because I completely understand and respect him getting his life together but him saying we’re not a situationship puts me in such a grey zone. Any advice?

Side Note. He’s also been saying he loves and cares about me.
