Sounds to me your boyfriend isn't understanding or respecting your boundaries. You've established the boundary clearly, however, with his continued participation in using the websites, it shows he doesn't fear you doing anything about it. His threats of kicking you out and cheating aren't healthy and detrimental actually to your mental health. Establish your repercussion of breaking boundaries and implement them when needed. Therefore, in order for anything to change he needs to know you're serious. Maybe that could be simply you leaving for a couple of days with no contact. Whatever the action is for him breaking boundaries, you need to implement them so he knows you're serious. I'm sorry you're going through this, but you're strong and will get through it.

This is not something that should happen in a healthy relationship. His behaviour sounds abusive and I would suggest you either talk it out with him once more or try to bring things to an end. Verbal abuse is not an excusable factor. Had he really loved and respected you, he wouldn't have forced you to do something against your wish. This is a big red flag. Try telling him about your problem once more. His response will help you judge for yourself whether it is really worthwhile to be with a person who does not care for your consent. Sending you best wishes!

This relationship sounds very unhealthy and dangerous. It also seems as tho he doesn’t respect you. One of the best thing you can do is to leave the relationship and begin to try new things and strengthen your preexisting friendships. You will need support in those times. Your heart may feel one way, but your mind knows differently. It hurts to be disciplined enough to do what is rational over what our emotions want. In the future you will learn what to look for to avoid and you will create the opportunity to find a better relationship. I hope you create an amazing future with healthier relationships and boundaries.
