I think that every child goes through this sort of stage especially when they are used to having you all to themselves!! I think that he will eventually adgust and that you should just give him some time. Sit him down and have a good chat with him and let him know that you do not want to be alone forever. Explain to him that mommy needs someone too and that this new man in your lives is not there to replace him at all! Good Luck and God Bless!!!

Your son is just threaten by another man in his life. Rebelling is a sign of insecurity and he might think you will not give him more attention now that you have met this guy. The best thing you can do is explain to him that he will always be important, etc. Make him feel that nothing will change just because of this new person in his life. Assurance is the best way to tone down this rebellion. Once he gets the idea that Mommy will always be there for him even though there is another person in her life, then he will calm down.

Thank u for ur responds I agree with u I need to reassure him that just because there is a man in my life now does not change are relationship between us, but it seams very hard for him to take this man as a friend because to him right now he's the ememy and it's hard..I don't treat him any different while we are all together, but can tell my son is threated by hes presents cause he acts out doing things he never does.....
