Which is not what Elena wants to hear of course, so Damon is always the bad guy, and Stefan the good guy because they can keep living in their dream world together.
I know. When they were sitting on the roof together at the end of the Season Opener, after Stefan had put the daylight ring on her finger and they were all glowing and basking in their (re)-discovered love, I felt like I had accidently watched a Clana barn scene or maybe something from Dawson`s Creek.
No acknowledgment of anything bad, just them and their little pink bubble of denial.
The problem with Elena and Stefan both is IMO this insistence (by other characters and the narrative as a whole) that they are somehow so pure at heart, small woodland animals sit up and take notice. While neither of them is a horrible person, that feeds into a totally wrong self-perception and whenever they can`t live up to it, they crumble and/or deny it. Both would be better suited with someone more honest.
