What does it mean when a person you thought you cared for says I'm not your keeper?

Is it time to leave the connection if the person who you thought you'd care about and for turns around to you and says firmly I'm not your keeper? But doesn't elaborate as to why.

What did you say right before they said that?

Seems they probably don't care for you in the same way.
They may feel smothered or that you are clingy. Just a thought. It's hard to say without knowing more of the situation.
