Angry at My Boyfriend for Watching Porn Behind My Back

He told you this was nothing, then acted like you were the problem. That is classic DARVO behavior, deny-attack-reverse-victim-offender, and yes, it is meant to wear you down. The anger you feel is not random. It is your nervous system saying, "This is not a safe thing between us." If this helps, read how gaslighting looks in partner behavior and compare to what partners usually find after denial.

What happened behind the scenes, not just the screen

Behind the tab, there is more than sexual content. There is choice, secrecy, and a lie about commitment. He can keep clicking in private and keep telling you to chill when you ask for truth.

He may call this an intimacy issue, or say every guy does it, or say you are insecure. Those lines are rehearsed. You don't have to argue each one. You can let the pattern carry the conversation for you.

The way to use this anger

Anger gets weirdly useful when you pair it with limits. Write your boundary list with deadlines, not vague future promises. Example: no more deleted history, full payment transparency, and no access fights.

Put each line where there is no wiggle room. If he breaks one boundary, the action is immediate, not a mood swing.

Stop negotiating his shame, start owning your standard

He will try to force you into the role of therapist. Don't. He broke trust first, now he expects you to absorb it. You are not a therapist, you are a partner whose dignity got pushed out the window.

You don't owe him back-off. You owe yourself a room where honesty is the default and disrespect has a cost.
