I agree with the person below me. It's because you care for him and you dont want him to feel bad. It's not just called sympathy, its also called you have a heart!

Sympathy would be the best word I think. You sympathize with your boyfriends feelings.
sym·pa·thy (smp-th)
1. The act or power of sharing the feelings of another.
2. A feeling or an expression of pity or sorrow for the distress of another; compassion or commiseration. Often used in the plural. See Synonyms at pity.
You might think you mean empathy, but empathy only means you understand the feelings, sympathy means you share them yourself.
