It's the way most people feel. You have to trust in him just like he has to trust you. You have all these feelings in you. You should use them and tell him how you feel.

I'm not sure, have you tried speaking to him about your anxieties when he leaves. It may be something to do with low self esteem and confidence.

Anxiety over a partner's whereabouts when they go out is normal. It is often caused by fear and uncertainty. You may fear the your partner is be out with another person having a hookup or out with friends and not being safe. Uncertainty is the little voice in your head that tells you that they could be lying about where they're going, or who they're with.
The best thing to do with this is to talk it out with your partner, see what they have to say about it, by chance they may feel the same thing when you go out.

Perhaps it is because you're unsure of what he is doing. Maybe try speaking to him about this issue and telling him how you feel. It's ok to feel this way

It's your care for him getting magnified to quite an extent. You wouldn't get anxious about him if you didn't care about him. It's essentially a positive emotions that's taking a form which is a little out of control. You are worried about him, and concerned for his safety, and these feelings grow exponentially to induce anxiety.

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.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
