For better or for worse
Can one use the expression 'for better of for worse' before making a statement, meaning that one does not know what effect that statement will have on the listener?
Consider:
1) For better or for worse, I had no idea what sort of a person you would be.
2) For better or for worse, I didn't expect you to be so charming.
Meaning: You might like or dislike what I am about to say, but I had no idea....
Gratefully,
Navi.
