Yea right, like that's ever going to happen.

You've likely already been exposed to it many times over.

I feel like he's being insensitive. I'm offended but don't know what to do.

Sounds insensitive to me, too. Good luck with everything.

Just lucky I guess.

Insensitive doesn't really cover it; he also seems completely unconcerned that he's likely a vector for an STD. Which makes him a real piece of work.

I think your boyfriend failed.

Soon after I would be telling him that I agree, I should get over things that bother me and fix them if possible. I would tell him "good bye" and hang up the phone.
