It's really interesting too to see that some of the people who are pro-Elena as a character hate the Salvatore brothers for their relationships with her.

Really though, both of the brothers are. Wickery Bridge anyone? Relationships are flawed too.
I don't see any of these relationships having a happy ending. In the end though and I hope the writers make this clear, it's Elena's choice. Elena could forgive either of them for past actions or find someone new.

Sorry for the shameless flail coming out of nowhere, but it's so rare that I just randomly see a person with whom I'd agree about Elena that I couldn't resist. When it comes to Elena, a big part of TVD fandom is cursed with Madonna-Whore complex :(.

I think female characters in general get hated on by fandom(s). Elena is sadly especially hated. Oh, the hate that was piled on her last season when she just wanted to let herself die...I don't get it. Even if Elena never chooses a brother and ends up alone I will love Elena.
