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.

It could mean anything. Depends on your history together, his personality, context of the conversations and so on.
But by itself, it doesn't warrant breaking the connection, unless your specific need in a person you care for is for them to be your keeper.
