What would he have thought?

So my ex colleague and I caught up over lunch today. While paying the bill, he was ready to split the bill but I told him, "Hey it's okay, I'll pay because you have to pay rent and all other expenses and I don't need to worry about all that because I live with my parents."
I hope I didn't make him feel like less of a man or something??

Don't bother.

Let him feel whatever. If he is mature, he'd take you for your face value & understand your concern but at the same time, you need to remember other perspectives too mentioned herein the comments section.

You see, girl - Change is the only constant, as you too are aware of.

Tread your path with hopes & smiles.
