Husband watches Fb reels with half naked women

Hi everyone. I just really needed someone else’s opinion on something that I feel sad/ embarrassed to talk about with family, friends 🥺

So my hubby is looking at fb reels randomly and shall I say underdressed women as they pop up.. he isn’t specifically searching for them
(I accidentally saw him from the back as I came back from upstairs) but will linger around when one of these half dressed girls pops up and look at them. What would you say, do, in a situation like this? I’m 3 months pregnant so I might be overreacting but I just feel awfully hurt by this .

feel dumb even asking strangers in the internet but right now I just needed someone to talk to . Xxx

Is there any scenario in which a conversation with him might help? Like if he could assure you that he just noticed the videos a bit but he's much more attracted to you? Or if he said he was really sorry that he hurt your feelings and would try hard not to let that happen again?

This idea that FB reels are all "tame" is naïve crap. My friend's H's reels included young Japanese girls dressed in school uniform upskirting each other, giggling; girls in tiny miniskirts taking their knickers down and showing them to the camera. Close ups on teenage girls in denim cut offs bending over. Girls in braless see-through t shirts washing cars, women pretending to be asleep in hotel rooms with men coming in and lifting their nighties....plenty worse than that.
They were all in his "suggested " reels.
Pinterest is full of the same stuff. That's where he started ,after going down a rabbit hole, looking at women in bikinis. One video to another from his search history and the content became worse and worse. And of course, FB picked up the algorithm.
Links with "innocent "descriptions like "how to dress your teen daughter's dorm for college"
FB is full of absolutely vile stuff.
And I sympathise with you OP. I would hate this, from the images you just attached. It's ok to be upset and angry about this and tell him so. You're allowed to state your boundaries.
I just hope he's more receptive than my friend's H.

@Bubusssss88 OP, it is virtually impossible to browse the internet normally without having images of scantily-clad women appearing on your monitor. This is just an unfortunate fact of the internet.
