You could get anxious when your boyfriend goes out because you could have trust issues. it is also possible that you are struggling with having too much time on your hands. It also depends on what activity your boyfriend is taking part in. i.e is there alcohol or drugs involved?

Anxiety and fear are closely related. Is there something you fear will happen when he goes out? Does his behavior change towards you before or after he leaves?

You care too much or you are thinking too much, you worry if something is going wrong and you should talk to him about it so you feel at ease.

It's possible that you feel anxious because you feel he might do something wrong or something bad will happen to him, etc. It's okay to feel this way about anyone you love or care for but, if the anxiety that you are feeling becomes something that's unbearable then you should definitely seek out some one to talk to.

You should ask yourself if you really trust him. All really goes into trust and if you find out that you have trust issues then ask yourself why. Maybe talk to him about it.

If it's because you have had negative experiences in the past, then that can be playing into your anxiety. However, there may be a part of you that wants to join him when he goes out, and that he wants to do things without you may feel like a reflection on how much he likes you, which can also cause anxiety.

Getting anxious when my boyfriend goes out is something that has to do with my own insecurities and self esteem. Not being able to trust him enough to let him have his space and have fun is a fear that he has built in me or I have built within myself. Other reason is simply because i want to spend as much time with him as possible. Sometimes when you love someone so much that it becomes an obsession you are the only person you want him to be around and it scares you or makes you uncomfortable that he may be around others.

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?
