I am absolutely dreading leaving him, I trust him completely but i feel terrible I'll be there on holiday and he will be home alone! The thought of not seeing him or being able to hug him is driving me mad and the closer it gets the more worried I'm getting! We are very close so going from seeing him every day to just nothing for a whole month is really upsetting me! What can I do to reassure myself that I'll be fine!?

This is what being a grown up is all about. Sometimes for work or whatever there are times when we have to be away from our partners.
Trust. Its only 4 weeks. Yes you will miss him, but its not the end of the world. You had this booked long before him, and he wouldnt want you to miss out or not enjoy yourself.
If you dont trust him, then you shouldnt be in a relationship with him. You need to make the choice. Either you dont trust him, or you do trust him, in which case, go, enjoy, come back, and get on with your relationship.
Yes you will miss him, but the world is not going to come crashing down because of it.

But think how great it will be when you two are reunited in a month? You should most definitely go. He will respect you more for it, and you'll have a lot to talk about when you get back. You know that saying absence makes the heart grow fonder? It's true. You can't miss someone if you're never apart. You will have a great time.
