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.

Heck, I had a mate who was 21 and flirted with my mother shamelessly. Only she never clocked on. And I was fine with it. I think he dodged a bullet there though. He married his mothers childhood friend. 30+ year age gap, but they're happy.
