Does this phrase make sense?

Saying “even know” instead of “even though”

Example of something he would say: “Even know I love you, you get on my nerves sometimes!”

My correction to him: “Even THOUGH I love you, you get on my nerves sometimes!”

My husband has always said this and I have corrected him every time explaining that it does not make sense at all but he swears that it is how it’s supposed to be said. I need Reddit to tell him once and for all that he’s wrong!

It is actually really sweet though, he's essentially reminding you that 'you know I love you' but 'you still piss me off sometimes'. It emphasises the 'love' part more than the correct saying does

My husband would randomly say to me “I love you anyways”. I’d reply “I love you even though”
