Love is great, but if its not accompanied by positive actions and hard work, its not enough to keep your life afloat. I believe that he meant he loves you, but that love doesn't pay the bills or get the promotions. His male brain is thinking about providing. Your female brain is thinking about nurturing. Its a classic gender disconnect, not related to how he feels about you. With that being said, you were hurt, so maybe its best if you just acknowledge to him that you might have misunderstood what he said. Then at least he can have a chance to explain himself better and you'll have peace of mind. But don't get too crazy over this. I really think its more of a misunderstanding than anything. Good luck!
