Please help with insecurity!

I will get straight to the point, I am incredibly jealous and insecure. I'm not excusing it or saying it is a good thing, but it is a fact. I have an anxious attachment style which I'm sure doesn't help. I want to be a better partner, because since I have had my baby my insecurity has been amplified. The most ridiculous situations are riling me - my partner commenting that someone on television looked pretty, him giving his brother's partner too much attention following the birth of their new baby, even him telling me about his teenage crushes. Sometimes I will even be watching a show ALONE and see a woman I imagine my partner would find attractive and become annoyed. Please please help. I don't want to be like this!

I think I’m the same and I don’t know what to do :(

Therapy!

Therapy, specifically CBT

Teenage crushes is a red flag tbh. Your partner can acknowledge other people are attractive but honestly if he knows it triggers you, he shouldn't do it verbally. I don't think it's a bad thing to have boundaries around thst kind of stuff. But like the other comments say, therapy for yourself just cause your attachment style will help.
