I'm with Shawnee.

Whether or not you want it that way, in English, the pronouns decline -- as in every other language in the Germanic group. Pronouns have an objective case when they are the objects of verbs and prepositions, and only second-person pronouns singular or plural show no visible change. First- and third-person pronouns do, mostly.

So do avoid incomprehensible solecisms (that they occur at all among normally intelligent adult native speakers being the incomprehensible part) such as "between her and I."

Frankly that sort of thing is tough on my tooth enamel.

Probably. I was all fucked up on drugs the first time around, IIRC.

True, true.

You can basically replace anything I say with "I'm all fucked up on little yellow pills".

What's your excuse?
