It sounds like your boyfriend isn't the most understanding person, especially when it comes to dealing with childhood issues and mental illness.
If it looks like your relationship will continue long-term, you should either educate him or be willing to accept that this behavior will probably be repeated.
Good luck to you and welcome to PC.
