  I think it's good for him to be ABLE to be alone without you.. like a baby needs to feel safe away from their mom.  This is probably a good thing in the long run for both of you.  A few hours isn't a long time... and when you leave, he'll probably cry for a while, give up, and sleep.  Good luck.  Part of any companionship is times together and times apart.  
 YOU CAN DO IT!
