I am recently separated and I think my son came home early while another man was in my bedroom?

I think your concern in itself testifies that you are a caring mother, despite the fallout you will get from some here.

Honesty is the best policy and the only way to get this settled "if he is even was aware of this encounter" is talk to him about it. He just needs to understand how much you care about him, and at the same time he needs to understand you and relationships you will have.

You invited your friend over when you thought you had private time, and your son was working late...nothing wrong with that. He also needs to understand that you need, and will seek love in your life.....just let him know what he thinks really does "matter" in your life and he should be good with it.

You obviously love your son very much! Its cute! But... What happens behind your bedroom doors, (as long as its legal, lol) is not your son's business, and shouldnt be! Your love life is yours to enjoy! As long as you "do no harm", you shouldn't put guilt on yourself. Yeah, age of son matters. If he asks about your company, do not lie! Let him know you have company. Let him know if u need privacy. You shouldn't need your son's permission to cultivate your own adult relationships. Your behavior right now is teaching him what is socially acceptable. Avoid hiding. Kids see the hiding behavior as disrespectful to them. But also, you don't need to explain everything about your, yes your!, personal life to your son. Maybe just let him know where he stands with you as far as this new man is concerned. Mom needs adult time. Mom deserves to seek and enjoy adult respectful relationships. He just needs to know that he's Always in your heart, and you will still and always be available as "mom". Kids are smart. They want to see their parents living the virtues they're taught. Honestly, respect. Right to seek and maintain personal happiness. But remember that you are the adult! As long as this budding romance is a healthy one, he should need not worry or fear. You maintain head of household. He should respect that and draw stability from the "home" the 2 of u share. Best of luck!

Your son is 18 and probably mature enough to no that you are going to move on and even have sex, honestly, he probably doesn't want to talk about it, the last thing he will want to hear is you talking about your sex life, if he brings it up then tell him about this guy, if not then leave it at that, unless your thinking aboit starting a relationship with this guy then I imagine your son will want to forget about the fact he could hear his mother having sex

How funny..........I think you should feel embarrassed. I know I have suspected when my parents were getting it on and it was funny and gross at the same time.

If your son is 18 he's probably having sex too and it's not any of your business. He probably just thought oh........... mom's getting laid, how funny. You probably don't need to say anything.

I just wouldn't say anything unless he asks. If he asks just tell him the answers to his questions. The REAL answers. There is no point lying. He's old enough to understand.
