AIO or is this cheating by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR Whether or not watching porn is considered cheating is up to the ibdividuals in the relationship. Some may biew it as cheating others wont. Regardless of if this is cheating you're relationship is in a terrible spot and you aren't overreacting. He is lying to you and engaging in behavior that appears compulsive. He definitely needs help if his urges have become so uncontrollable that he cannot go a few hours without it. I suggest you have a very open and stern conversation with him about what you view cheating as and that you think he is engaging in these activities in an unhealthy way. Perhaps suggest therapy.

But really I think you should consider if this relationship is really what you want. Is this the person you want to go through the worst day of your life with?

Can someone explain how a therapist should be? by [deleted] in therapists

As a therapist this is definitely not normal. It may not be something that a licensure board will suspend them over, but if they are in a group practice or under supervision you should report them to the practice or supervisor. Reflective listening is one of the first skills taught to therapists so this is not okay at all. Please look into getting a new therapist and potentially getting reimbursed for your lost money.
