You might feel anxious because you might be scared of him leaving you or forgotten you or you are afraid he might get in an accident or something bad is going to happen to him.

Maybe its from past experiences that you may not have thought are still affecting you. Subconciously you may be worried he may do something or you just don't like being alone. Or simply you could just be worried about him!

This is actually a normal feeling. Trust is a hard thing to gain, you just have to have faith in him

Feeling anxious about your partner's doings is natural. It is perhaps the best course of action to talk it out with him, to strengthen the trust and ensure that you are inseparable.

This is a sign that you do t trust him. You probably feel like he is going to do something, or you're afraid that he'll leave you for whatever reason.

Well, maybe you care about him too much and are worried. Or maybe you are a bit jealous and worry about his actions.

It's probably because you're afraid that something will happen to him or you're nervous that he'll POSSIBLY cheat on you with someone else.

One of the causes could be separation anxiety. Its very common in children, where when they get separated from their caregivers or parents they get very anxious. It might persist in adulthood as well. Or it might be just insecurity.

It could be because you may have not expressed your concerns when he is absent. You may not only miss him but it could also be due to the fact that there may have been a lapse in communication and expressing oneself positively

Be more specific on your feelings. What goes trough your mind when he leaves the house? Do you feel jealous? Alone? What do you specifically feel? (:
