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.

Do you live together? Are you super close? You would have ideas on what his reasoning is. We don't know the whole picture.
Maybe he's being protective as he doesn't want you to get hurt. Maybe if the right man walks in then he would be able to earn your love and his trust. But then, that is a bridge you'd have to cross to know the ending.
I hope you find your happy ending :)
