He definitely had some issues as well. For sex he let assassinating informants and others (non-militant?) slide. It seemed like he still tried to keep the sexual relationship going even after she told him she did some side work cutting a body into pieces, though it was harder and eventually led to him moving on. All around no bueno.

Nobody is the villain of their own story.

I'm sure that she's the victim in her own story.

Rationality is not what humans are best in. People stay in toxic relationships, or make babies in the middle of a war.

We are driven by chemistry much more than rationality.
