My boyfriend (M23) discovered a disease, and the way I (F22) reacted made him very upset.

So, starting from the beginning, my boyfriend had many symptoms of illnesses, and he recently did CT scans to discover the cause of these symptoms. Unfortunately, the scans detected pathologies in his neck and chest, and he will need to be re-examined for cancer.

He told me this horrible news at 5:00 PM, and at that time, I was at the gym, and it was such a huge shock that I can’t even describe it. The way I chose to act was to show strength and positivity, saying that the new tests would come back negative for cancer. I went to the bathroom at the gym to hold back my tears and then sat in the corner and talked to him on WhatsApp. I spent 30 minutes at the gym like this, trying to do a set or two of exercises to clear my head, but I couldn’t, so I went home.

My boyfriend is VERY angry with me because, according to him, I didn’t care about his health since I just stayed at the gym. He claims that if I truly loved him, I would have gone home immediately after receiving the news about his tests.

I love him so much. I didn’t stay at the gym because I didn’t care; I just didn’t know how to act in that moment. I didn’t want to show him the fear I was feeling since he already tends to be a bit negative.

I’ve explained all this to him many times, but he told his friends, and they said he should “re-evaluate the relationship with me.”

Even if he is diagnosed with cancer, I will be by his side through everything—he’s the love of my life! How can I show him that I love him and make him forgive me?

Note: We’ve been together for 1 year and 9 months, and he also threatened to tell his family how I acted, saying they would lose respect for me. He wants to break up because of this and has insulted me in every way. Do you think it’s fair? Did I mess up that badly?

TL;DR : My bf discovered a disease that could be very serious, he messaged me telling me about it when i was at the gym, and i stayed at it for more 30minutes. I didn’t know what to do

Update: i don’t know a lot about his exams, he only told me he had gotten them back and send to his sister (who is a doctor) to analyze them, And she had told him he would need a biopsy, after this he started this argument and refused to talk about the disease itself so I don’t know any further

Update: He told his mom about this and he said she is very disappointed in me. I’m very sad about this, i care so much about his family especially his mom and to have her think poorly about me just makes me extremely sad.

Update: He broke with me
