I know what everybody is thinking what is wrong with this dude stefan is selfless and honorable but in the beginning of the onyesha from the start he lied to elena throughout the onyesha and wewe may think no he didn't. But in the first season he leid to her about nearly everything from how his brother made him turn and he was innocent and made his brother seem like he was the big bad mbwa mwitu to
dropping bomb shells on elena to stop being mad with him hoping that he wouldn't lose another kathrine. And when his brother tried to get revenge for all he'd done he used that chance to make him seem like the bad guy and when damon and elena got together he kept trying to drop guilt bombs on elena to get back with him even though he tries to protect elena and keep her human and not dead while stefan acted like a puppy dog and does whatever she say's and got her nearly killed a plethora of times and got her turned into a vampire and got her to go full on crazy ripper with rebekha so wheneever stefan tried to shame damon for some of the bad stuff happening it would mostly been his fault so there im done. :D
