What really pisses me off is that people think saying "I love you" at the end of the day makes that parade of insults they bombarded you with earlier are suddenly insignificant.

They’re not.

Because at the end of the day, that person you verbally shoved down isn’t going to remember that you said sorry.
They’re going to remember that you told them that their dinner is going to go to their thighs. They’re going to remember that you reminded them they didn’t matter.

So no, “I love you” does not make it okay.
