my boyfriend is being an asshole

ive had coldsores ever since i was little. ive only had like three in my life, not including the one i have right now. ive only ever gotten them when its cold and im recovering from being sick. my mom has gotten cold sores my entire life so i dunno if i got it passed down from her or i was kissed as a baby or something, i dont know. my bf and i have been sick for the past two weeks or so and have been feeling better. if im being totally honest i wasnt really educated on herpes until today, i just knew cold sores were contagious. since ive started being sexually active i didnt really think to disclose it because the last time i got one i was probably below the age of ten.

this morning we woke up and i rolled over, kissed him a little and gave him head, and when i got up to clean myself i realized that i had an open cold sore. i immediately told him and apologized, i said i completely understand if youre upset with me, i didnt know i had one until i got up this morning. hes been freaking out all of today. hes never gotten them before, and hes treating me like a disgusting piece of shit. which i find ironic because his mother contracted herpes ( idk if theyre genital or oral but he told me she did fuck around quite a bit while he was growing up when he told me about it ) and is on medication for it.

hes telling me its gonna last weeks and it could be all over his face snd he cant go to work like that, telling me if i gave him oral and genital herpes then hes fucked for life and hes gonna break up with me. ive been apologizing and tearing up about it all fucking day before he left for work, kept telling him theres medication, that theres a chance he might not even get it, to the point where theres nothing else for me to say or do when he keeps going on and on.

hes at work right now, doing a closing shift and im at our shared house waiting for him to get home. he texts me going off about it again and i tried calming him down again but he keeps calling me rude fucking things saying this is a "serious disgusting issue". i told him i dont know what to say anymore. and now hes saying that he doesnt believe ive had them as a kid and he thinks i fucked around and now hes paying the price for it. im so fucking upset. i know he can get mean, i knew who he was when i started dating him — hes also really miserable because of work and hes a big stressor but jesus fucking christ. im so upset.

to quote by the way, "And like to be completely 100% honest I don't fully believe this is a parents thing there is a little bit of me that thinks you fucked around and got got and now I'm suffering for it" were his exact words
