My boyfriend tricked me, should I be mad?

Ok,
I got a facebook message from a guy saying he’d seen me on a drama group I was in. He started chatting to me in the messages saying things like I had a nice smile and I was cute. I immediately said to him that I had a boyfriend so he shouldn’t bother if he was trying to chat me up. It pretty much ended there, I just said thanks for the complement and goodbye.
My boyfriend then rings me up a few hours later and is upset. He told me the guy on facebook was him, and that he has needed to see what I would do in that situation.
He was really angry and ashamed that he’d tricked me like that and was very apologetic.
I tried to be understanding, I knew he had been treated badly by other guys and so had trust issues. I said that I still trusted him but I was finding it hard to do, and that I didn’t think he trusted me at all.

Question is: should I have reacted differently? What should I do?

Thanks guys.
