Why is that phrase offensive to people? I've never quite understood that...Because to me, it means "even though you have some faults I still love you no matter what"

I wouldn't find it offensive.

I would be sad and flattered if it is told to me by an ex-girlfriend. It would means she still has feelings for me--but that the relationship could never work out despite her love for me.

I don't think that's offensive at all.

The whole statement is the problem; it's a backhanded compliment.

"Sure, you're a stupid, ugly loser, but I still love you!"

:cry:

It's better than saying you're intelligent and beautiful, but I hate you nevertheless.
