Anyone else tired of porn being normalised?

I'm pregnant and the hormones are probably playing a part but I don't understand why my partner used porn when we both enjoy sex. Some people are into it and there are differences of opinion, but I don't understand pleasure over another person whilst you're in a relationship? I'm due in less than a week so it's really annoyed me tbh. I've been unsatisfied before and I didn't make a point of using it. I'm finding it hard to not see it as an ick and I'm put off him right now. But when this is mentioned, people suggest watching it together, no? It's just another fake thing in this world. Oddly I don't feel this way from being insecure in myself, it is purley finding it hard to see porn as anything other than cringe. It is normalised to be sexually aroused by another person, how can I learn not be frustrated with this has anyone else felt this way?

I've replied on your other thread OP.

I think it's really sad when people try to present watching porn as " normal".

The effect on mental heath, the effect on porn users ability to have normal relationships, the escalation to more and more extreme porn use, the exploitation of the women in the industry and the normalising of violent sex acts etc etc are all well documented in scientific studies and research.

And yet people still try to say porn use is acceptable.
