No, he was a shit boyfriend because even if it were histrionics, it was also visibly injuring you, and he noticed that you were having difficulty breathing before you did that time, he knew he had been smoking, and he didn't do jack shit to stop it.
Contrast the sort of relationship where a friend inadvertently brings up a topic which can be relied upon to set off the-thing-which-quacks-like-PTSD in me, notices that I am affected badly, apologizes, and changes the subject to something which he knows is likely to distract me and calm me down, and makes a note about not treading there in the future.
EVEN IF IT WERE ~~~ALL IN YOUR HEAD~~~ HE WAS STILL A SHIT BOYFRIEND.
