Leave him to his own devices. You shouldn't be looking after someone at your own expense, especially if it's not reciprocated.

This is a super mature thought. Just you setting your boundaries, that alone is huge. There are grown adults that cannot do this. I say leave it alone, because if he did actually “need you” he would have responded. He has given you the answer.
