I love you, despite the obvious reasons. – Greeting Card

The obvious reasons have been documented. There is the snoring, the thermostat doctrine, the one anecdote now told at four separate dinner parties with escalating embellishment. None of it is in dispute. A complete accounting exists, it runs longer than either party would prefer, and it changes nothing — because the love was never a grade issued after reviewing the evidence. It is the verdict that survives the evidence. Despite is doing serious work in this sentence and is proud of the assignment. This card states both facts plainly: the reasons are obvious, the love is staying, and only one of those two items was ever optional in the first place.
