I finally decided i have to do something about it and have made an appointment with my doctor this week - but how do I explain the problem to the doctor - I am embarrased about it and dont know what to say my problem is without seeming to be a waste of time. Please can anyone advise the best thing to say when i go in!

 You've done something amazing already, acknowledging the problem and being prepared to ask for help is very brave thing to do, well done.
Clearly this is causing you distress and is therefore serious enough to warrant some qualified support.
Write down what is you want to tell your doctor just in case your nerves get the better of you when you see him/her.
Here in your question, you have articulated your problem well and if you word it pretty much the same way with your doctor he will be able to recognise that you need some help working through this.
You are not a waste of time for having these issues, you are a responsible and emotionally aware person.
You could tell the GP that you have issues with insecurity which are threatening your relationship and also your emotional health. Don't be afraid of talking openly with your GP, the more you are able to let him see the extent to which this is affecting you, the more likely he will be to refer you to appropriate support. Good luck, it would be lovely to hear how you get on.

If you feel that what i said is correct, then tell your doctor that you have a lot of insecurity, and it causes you to be extremely jealous in your relatinship. That it makes day to day living more difficult, and had potential to destroy your relationship.
There is nothing shameful in any of this and these are issues that are near impossible to resolve on your own.
