How did your partner react?

So this past week I found out that I have genital herpes. However, I don’t know where I could have gotten it from. Anyways, I told the guy that I’m romantically involved with because we have been intimate. Long story short, this might be the end of our relationship, or maybe he’s adjusting. I really want him to come around and accept it, but I can’t make that happen for him. I just want to know... is there any hope for my situation? How did your partner initially react when you told them about your condition?
