This is one of those situations for which the classic Dear Abby question applies:
Are you better off with him than without him?
The advice to chill for awhile and to not make a significant decision until you feel more in control of your emotions is a good one. At that point, if I were you, I would be quite honest with myself about the pros and cons of the relationship, and if the good outweighs the bad.
Nobody is perfect. Only you can decide what amount of negatives are worth it to you in order to be with him.
One cautionary comment: You low self-esteem (feeling unattractive) is an indicator that you may be in the relationship to compensate for something you do not like about yourself. It is difficult to have a healthy, enduring relationship when one doesn't love and accept oneself. I'm not saying this is the case with you; but it is something you may wish to think about in your time of reflection.
