Channel disgust into boundaries that stick
Put three non-negotiables in front of him:
No hidden browsing, full access to payment history, and full truth in each argument. If any of those fail, you stop the relationship process and reassess before any intimacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is disgust a bad reaction to feel?
No. Disgust is your system saying, "You crossed my safety line." It is protective, not a character flaw.
How do I avoid becoming cruel because of that disgust?
Aim your anger at behavior, not skin. Say what broke trust instead of attacking your own worth or making personal insults.
Can this feeling fade even if he apologizes?
It can, but only if words match actions for a long stretch. Empty apologies do not cure disgust, consistency does.
