The EII was critical of the SLE, perhaps as a defense against the SLE. I sometimes criticized my SLI ex, not because she was a bad person. She was actually an extremely good person. However, I felt like I was constantly being beaten up by her and I couldn't defend myself against her, so criticism was my only defense.

I'm not proud of my criticizing her, but at the time I didn't understand what was going on; that the problem wasn't her and it wasn't me, but rather the problem was our interpersonal relationship.

That has since been fixed in the simplest, easiest way; we divorced and now rarely see each other. I still admire her as a person, but I don't want to live with her, ever again.
