Here's a cool Internet project with illustrations centered around the phrase "I love you but..."
An example: "I love you but, you are not enough to keep me here."
I think every relationship has its "I love you but" moments. If you're lucky, most of them will pertain to quirks that are mostly annoying, but sometimes endearing.
Say, "I love you but I hate how much you love Golden Corral."
But sometimes, "I love you but" marks a turning point in relationship -- a realization that you genuinely love someone, but also genuinely don't want to be with them.
I guess I'll file these reflections with my thoughts on other cringe-worthy statements like:
"You're a great girl, but..."
"Last night was fun, but..."
"You mean a lot to me, but..."
Any additions?
