Herpes caused breakup

My boyfriend recently broke up with me because he said he can't get it out of his head that I have herpes. We've been in our relationship for 8+ months and i told him early in. When I told him I had it,  he was fine with it. Never affected our sex life. Now he's telling me, he can't be with me cause of that. I'm so heartbroken and I feel low because I thought he was it. I didn't see this coming at all. :(. Anyone have this problem?
