Enide is only given a name when she's about to be married to Eric. It's said that a women can only be married if she has a given name. And so, in order for the union to take place, her name needs to be reviled to all as if to legitimize a sale. A sale from Enide's father to Eric.
The initial conflict between the couple starts with when Enide expresses discontentment with making Eric so much in love with her he's no longer attending to his nightly duties. After prodding, Eric is able to extract this information from her and so he goes off and dose the opposite. She then shows discontentment over this and shuns herself for even thinking of her lord in such a way.
In my opinion she's too focused on pleasing him, and worrying about what he thinks of her also combined with her effect on his life. When he's fighting the knight in the woods, she worries for him and doubts his skills. This is a major problem with any relationship, doubt.
Enide expresses discontent vocally, so Eric becomes agree reminding her the place of a women in the society they live in.
