Boyfriend watching porn at 10:30 in the morning

I woke up this morning at 8:30, have fed the cats and done some cleaning. DP was still in bed asleep. At 10 oclock I went into the bedroom and he said he was going to get up soon and start doing some house jobs (the task for today is painting the spare room which we will do together). I went into another room to write a shopping list and I put my air pods in and they connected to DPs phone, and I heard a man moaning. I walked into the bedroom and said what on earth are you watching and he showed me the screen which was something else. And I said no… just then, what were you watching? He said oh I was feeling a bit turned on so it was a porn video. I said why???! At this time in the morning, with the door wide open, the cats are running around chasing each other, I’m in the other room tidying up and making shopping lists… why would you lie there doing that? He said he turned it off straight away because he knew it was weird. But it’s given me the ick, I feel a bit sick and disgusted. Am I overreacting? I know a lot of people don’t have a problem with porn, and some people do. I guess I don’t mind if I don’t know about it. If it’s late at night and I’m away or something. But at 10:30am while I’m walking around the house and he’s just RIGHT there as if it’s normal?

I don’t even want to speak to him right now I feel icky like he’s a disgusting person. Is this an overreaction?

Totally grim. I would have the ick too.

I think it’s an unfair reaction. It wouldn’t faze me.

If you’re fine with him watching porn at a different time, and he wasn’t meant to be doing anything else important, I think you’re being a bit unreasonable here. Up to him how and when he manages his “private” time.

If you aren’t fine with him watching porn that’s a different issue (and totally reasonable for you to have concerns IMO)

But you need to be clear with yourself about what the actual issue you have is - the porn or the timing.

You also need to consider whether you’d rather he didn’t do this and you have a horny DH lurking around all day or if he just got it out of the way and was a bit calmer for the day. Pros and cons both ways

Do women really have to think like this?

OP it's grim and I would have the ick too.
