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 bfs son is 9 now. He's found it really difficult with his parents splitting up and being with others.

But 21? He should appreciate your needs

@KatyO83
Is more clingy to you with the separation

@AgoodsonXT no. I essentially stay out of the way, although that's more to do with his mum. She's been at times a flipping nightmare. So a weekend like this when his dad has him I don't really see them. We're slowly changing that I went to a big cricket game a couple of weeks ago.
