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.

He’s a grown man now and should be able to understand that you have needs and are ready to move on and develop another relationship. I think he’s being a little selfish, tbh. I promise he will understand this, at some point, and I feel you should go ahead and date others. Four years is a long time to have waited after a divorce, imho.
