Is it normal to be bothered about my partner watching disturbing videos online?

So my boyfriend is a hacker, programmer etc. He has hacked into pretty sick websites and tells me sometimes about stuff he finds on 4chan. About women being undressed and beaten in the cold for example. I don't know I feel really weird and bothered that he watched stuff like that. He seems normal and everything but I think it's super weird.

It can be indicative of a lack of empathy, yes.

I've seen some sick shit in my lifetime, and honestly, most of it disturbed me for days. I couldn't sleep for a good few nights.

If he 'finds it funny' or is unphased by it, then that would ring alarm bells to me.

That's a huge red flag and you need to dump that guy.

Why?

[Wise4myage]

Why? Because he's into some very weird shit. But its your call.

It would be one thing if he watched and enjoyed it. Another if he watched for any other reason besides liking it.

Unless it’s the dark web, it’s most likely fake. But still alarming.
