Stage 2 of pre-conventional development
Pre-conventional development is the area of development when someone is self-concerned. Stage 1 is when there is no difference between the right thing and not getting punished, so it has to be stage 2 of pre-conventional development.

By making criticism, we could expose our partner on his/her weaknesses and focusing on that weakness to evoke a certain negative emotion. By doing this, the focus of their discussion could be strayed from our own weakness/insecurities and could be used to avoid responsibility when we're in a fight with our partner.
