Is it Cheating??

My BF and I have been together for 2.5 years. While he was TN (we live in IL) with his brother and step-dad (I couldn’t go due to starting a new job), he got into some dark place and was contemplating the relationship. As such, he downloaded Tinder and swiped through a bunch of girls, but never talked to any of them. He admitted to being unsure about the relationship and having doubts and contemplating downloading Tinder, all via text, but wouldn’t talk to me on the phone. It wasn’t until he got home from TN that he admitted that he actually downloaded the app and swiped through a bunch of girls, but he is adamant that it’s not cheating because he never talked to any of the girls. I feel extremely betrayed and hurt and I still view it as cheating, at least betraying me, but he refuses to see it that way. Thoughts??
