Can a lazy partner make you less motivated?

My live-in boyfriend can be lazy at times. He can have zero dollars in the bank and not even apply for a job with the "we still have groceries from when I bought them and I put in for my prepaid rent" attitude. He is in college full time but is out of student loans and I told him that he needs to get a job as I don't want to cover his expenses. I had him move out and we now date from our different homes because of issues. Since he moved out I have given him my cigarettes lately as he has no money for his own and paid one of his unexpected bills. But in other areas too, the data on his phone was cut off and he won't call to see what is going on... he sent an email but no response so he doesn't use his phone for internet. He doesn't plan or manage his life and complains when things don't work out. Even with our dating, I have to pick him up as he can't afford a cab and doesn't drive. I find that being around him, that I am less motivated and on top of things, like I was before him. I am not depressed, I just feel like things are slipping out of my hands whereas before him I never even forget even an appointment. Even my hobbies are things that don't interest me as much as I don't feel motivated for things. I feel happy though, not down. Just unmotivated and more forgetful. Is this a problem with me? .... or can a lazy partner make you feel less on top of things and drag you backwards away from where you want to be? I don't know if this is natural or if it's all my own personal issues that I can't stay on top of my responsibility since we have been together, which has been ten months.
