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 is an adult. You need to do what you need. You don’t have to be rude or uncaring but you need to communicate to him that you will be taking care of yourself and he is old enough to handle it.
