5. It's someone you really like, so I'd have the conversation.

Did you love me before you knew this about me? Why is it necessary for you to tell me that you "love me anyway" as if you had just discovered a flaw that would make me unlovable were you not so loving? Do you feel that believing something without evidence makes you superior to me in some unseeable way?

I'd pursue the conversation, if I really like the person. If I really don't care about the person for good or ill, my reaction would be entirely different. It would take the form of, "Well fuck you, too."
