I'm wondering which can follow "I trust you, but."
I think only (3) is OK.
(1) I trust you, but I don't trust you any more than you trust me.
(2) I trust you, but I don't trust you, any more than you trust me.
(3) I trust you, but I trust you no more than you trust me.
Do you agree?
Thank you in advance

Hello,
Both 1 and 3 are correct.
You could also say, "I trust you, but no more than you trust me." or "I don't trust you any more than you trust me."
Does this help? |
