My 21 year old son is beyond uncomfortable with me dating despite me being divorced 4 years now

I understand that young men don’t want to think about mom dating or having needs but there needs to at least be some compromise. It’s really upsetting to not be able to pay attention to my own wants and needs on account of upsetting my son.

My parents got divorced when I was 9, I don’t blame him for how he’s feeling. My dad got married to his 2nd wife just 6 years after my mom’s divorce with him and I found out on instagram. His feelings are valid. Just give him time and introduce the person you’re dating if you know for sure he’s the one. Take it on step at a time gradually
