I know exactly where you're coming from!
oh my god you sound just like me! I could have written what you wrote a while ago! The main difference is that I'm now starting to get some control over my green monster. It's taken blumming long enough though. I was cheated on twice by my ex boyfriend too which I think is the cause for all the jealousy.
I'm no expert hun but all I can advise you to do is work on your self-confidence. Before you let anyone love you, you should love yourself. You say that you're no oil painting, no breasts or bum.. well neither have I. In comparison to a lot of women, I thought "how can my bf like ME?" but the fact of the matter is he does (he's not a big breast kind of guy, he likes what I've got!). So don't put yourself down, the way you are is the way you are and it sounds like your bf is just fine with that... he wouldn't have chosen to be with you otherwise!
You can spend every hour of the day worrying that he might cheat on you. The sad fact is that some people do cheat and no amount of worrying will stop anyone. So you see, worrying about it serves no purpose! Just enjoy what you've got. Be confident and let him see how much you love your own body. Also, think of all the great things he does, all the things that make you so happy: Focus on these REAL things, not the IMAGINARY scenarios you create in your head.
One final point: try to stop comparing him to your ex (perhaps you do it on a sub-conscious level). He's not a ... like your ex, he's your wonderful, gorgeous man... don't tar him with the same brush as your ex. A lot of women end up pushing thier man away with their insecurities and trust issues... now you don't want to turn into one of those do you?
Hope some of this helps! Shaz x
