Do looks matter?

Kiera

So I’ve been on and off with my current boyfriend for 7 months but this time we’re making a proper go of things... I love him so much and I think he’s the best looking lad in the world. However my friends always criticise me and ask me y I’m with him because he’s shorter than me, chubby and has acne. He got me through my suicidal thoughts after a sexual assault by a previous boyfriend and I honestly owe my life to him. I love him but y do people feel the need to comment on my relationship and feel that it’s just looks that matter? If it doesn’t bother me y should it bother them?
