Odysseus dodn't necessarily "leave" Penelope. He was advised by Athena to fight for Ithaca in the battle against Troy. Odysseus was reluctant to do so, for his wife had just given birth to a baby boy, Telemacus. He told Penelope that if he had not returned by the time that Telemacus had a beard, he was dead and that she would have to remarry to keep the kingdom.

Odysseus was displeased with Penelope because she continued to entertain suitors in his absence, despite him being away for many years. He was upset that she did not have faith in his return and feared that she might betray him.
