Mimi,
These are normal feelings and believe me, I've been there. However, this is where your hard work comes into play. Your partner is not responsible for your self-confidence. He needs to support you and love you, but even in your post, you say he's doing that. Now is when you have to learn not to give into your fears and become overly needy. I know, I was there. Every time anything went just a little out of whack, I took things to the, "perhaps this is the start of the old habits... maybe we should just break up" level.
The only advice I can give is to recognize your fears (which you're doing), own them as your problem - not his, and don't give into them. Things will continue to get better and better once you do this. You mentioned in an earlier post that perhaps the breakup could be the best thing to happen to your relationship because you both recognized your bad relationship behaviors. I think that's true. It's hard not to focus on his bad behaviors (because he was the one who committed the act of leaving) but you have to fix yours, too.
Sorry for the tough luck but you've got a good thing now. Good luck. this is so, so natural.
