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.

part of being a mom means you need to help him grow up.

right now he needs to understand that while he might have been the center of your world he is an adult

as you are - and you have needs

how would he feel if you told him HE can't date either?
