Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

You use the phrase "Don't get me wrong" to ensure that the other person will not get the wrong intention or idea of what you previously said or will say. After using this phrase, you can provide more information to ensure that they get your intention. Ex: Don't get me wrong. I love my room mate, but sometimes I just want some private space. Ex: I love him, don't get me wrong, but I feel like he is not the person who is mature enough to get married with.
