Maybe you're worried of what he could be doing without you or in what situations he could get in, let him know about it and talk with him
I agree with the other answer. It could also be that you don't like being on your own. I find it helps to have a friend over or make plans of my own so that I have a distraction

It's understandable that it may make you anxious. Could it be possible that you worry about him getting hurt or in trouble when he is out?

If he is with you he care you and you enjoy with him and when he come back nothing reduce in your relationship then i think you no need to worry. By the way some time we more expectations from someone when our expectations not meet then we anxious.and it is not important that what we expect that will be meet some time we need compromise on something and see the situation on the other eyes self respect us priority in all and think positive we have also other mean good side of pictures that is beautiful, comportable and enjoyable. But we think negative about some one or some thing that we destroy our happiness on that and we feel anxious.

oh so sorry to hear that ,it seems you are overthinking on something or just having an insecure attachment ,or say some kind of fear of losing him . this generally happens when you tend to have trust issue's ,miscommunications between the two . you can just relax and trust on your partner because once you start trusting your partner all these feelings of getting anxious will stop running in your mind and you will have a healthier and happier relationship with each other and i would suggest you to speak to your partner about this because then he would not behave incorrect and wont hurt you and would even try to stay connected to you .thanks
Maybe he's your comfort zone and you don't feel as safe when he's not around or maybe you're afraid that he will find someone better and you love him too much that it scares you. Maybe you've been hurt before and there's some doubt in the back of your mind that he will cheat on you or hurt you. The mind plays nasty tricks on us, try to stay positive although this is easier said than done. Try to distract yourself when he does go out so you don't have to sit there and feel anxious, keep the mind busy.

Feeling anxious when your boyfriend goes out can be influenced by factors such as insecurity, past experiences, communication styles, fear of the unknown, attachment styles, and a need for reassurance. These feelings may arise from concerns about the relationship, fear of abandonment, or overthinking potential scenarios. Open communication with your partner, addressing underlying insecurities, and exploring the root causes of anxiety can help manage these emotions. Seeking support from a mental health professional may also be beneficial in developing coping strategies and fostering a healthier relationship dynamic. If you find that this anxiety is impacting your well-being or the relationship, it may be beneficial to communicate openly with your boyfriend about your feelings.
