It depends on what is this anxiety fueled by. Are you anxious that he is going to cheat, that something God forbid could happen to him, or something else? As long as you two develop a stable relationship based on respect and trust, then you do not have to worry what your boyfriend will do. If he values you then he knows it would be a very wrong move for him to do something that would hurt you, the relationship and him in the long term. It is not easy but love requires trust in your partner where you just have to hope and carry on.

well it sounds like you might be anxious cause you think he might be cheating. would be my best guess, is to to try and talk to him about it.

If you mean, you are worried that he could cheat on you or something like that, you should talk to him about it, and maybe go out with him, or come to some kind of solution. If its because you are worried about him, you should also talk to him about it, and come up with a solution on how to cope with it. :)

Maybe it is because you think he won't be faithful or he won't take care of himself and get hurt, and this is caused by a lack of trust in the relationship.

because you care for him. If you don't 100% trust him then it will make it harder to deal with. Speak to him about it, im sure he will reassure you and let you know he wouldn't do anything to betray your trust

You probably get jealous when your boyfriend goes out because you care about him, you are protective over keeping him therefore you wouldn't want to think anything would happen to him/he would do something to jeopardise the relationship. Feeling anxiety about this sounds quite normal.

You seem to have an issue with jealousy. Talk with your boyfriend about how his going out makes you feel. He may be understanding and keep in touch more.

Perhaps you have unresolved issues from past relationships. Or even you doubt your own self worth. Write a list of the things you feel or what about his evenings out make you anxious. Then maybe you can find the root of the feelings then address it with him. Communicaton is key

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?
