Try letting him “‘make a bed” on the floor near your bed. Then you’re sleeping in your bed, your husband isn’t bothered, and your son can have the comfort of mom near by. Additionally, my kids over time learn the floor is less comfortable than their own beds and gradually improved and now sleep consistently through the night in their own beds. Good luck!
I would suggest talking to him to understand why he wants you in the room and work on ways to make him more comfortable. It seems like he may feel scared if you aren’t there. If that is the case, it may help to talk about what makes him feel brave and give him a chance to show you how brave he is.
With my son I waited too long and spent years having bad sleep. In the end, what helped was having a room close to our room (we moved) so he felt we were close enough that he could sleep in his own room. I would stay with him until he fell asleep. Having a light in the room was a must though.
Good luck!
Just here to say you aren't alone. I sleep in my five-year-old's room. I haven't fought it, mostly because my husband snores so loudly that I can't sleep in our room anyway!
Go away for a few nights and leave your husband and son home. You may find that if you cut it off for a few nights, he may figure it out if it is not an option to have you come into his bed.
I sleep in my 5 year olds bed 50% of the time if not more. I just remind myself that before I know it she’s going to be 10 finding independence and friends and I’m going to miss her wanting me in her bed

No real advice here. I still lay with my 7yo while he falls asleep and then he comes to my bed sometime after midnight. This works for us because all I really want is my alone time 9-11pm but obviously matters what works for you. Just know it won’t last forever and you will look back at these nights sweetly one day.
