Have you tried pumping your milk and then putting that in a bottle. This way he will be receiving the same taste - but in a different way. I would do this for 3 days...if they are hungry enough, he will take it. So, I would recommend waiting until you know he is very hungry..then try it. He might only take it for a little while at first - but this is a start. Then, try adding 1 part forumula to 4 parts breastmilk to the bottle. You might have to do this for 1-2 weeks..as change is hard. My son didn't like the forumula at all...but I was persistent in adding a little with breastmilk, then more and more and now he drinks the bottle no problem with it. Regarding the problem of him not wanting you to leave, it might be becuase he has not been with many people. You might have a babysitter come over while you're there to play with him...do this a couple times so you can see that he's comfortable with them and likes them. Then, try leaving for an hour or so...do errands, etc. This will be a gradual way to be able to leave for while. Although it will be hard when they cry you must be confident that this will help you and him in the long run - and although hard to accept, isn't healthy for him to be dependent on you. He's a baby and you know what is best...which is for him to be able to be with other people and for you to be able to go on a date with your husband. Happy parents means happy babies. Be strong...and good luck.
