Commas, "but", and casual writing

Hi,

I'm having comma issues. Emotion: embarrassed Could someone please help me punctuate this sentence:

I wish I could be there to help you but hopefully you'll be able to handle it.

I know I could just reword it, but it's bugging me.

Thank you in advance!!

Yes, you are correct. The word "but" is a conjunction that joins two separate clauses together, calling for the comma after "you." :-)
