Now to anyone of the teensy-beensy minority that has never heard of Twilight's male protagonist, Edward Cullen, he supposedly a vampire that falls in deep "love" with a human girl named Bella.
Now I must object to this Beschreibung of the Edward and Bella (Edella oder Bedward, lol). While the relationship is described as being true love, I personally think that the relationship is any BUT deep, true love. It is, in my, along with many other fanpoppers, opinion that this relationship is extraordinarily unhealthy and codependent, and that Edward's supposed "love" is obsessive love.
Obsessive love: a form of Liebe where one person is emotionally obsessed with another. Obsessive Liebe can lead to dangerous consequences. Extreme obsessive Liebe can be the cause of stalking, rape, and murder, among other things.
Now I know that Edward never raped oder killed Bella, but he did stalk her. And Edward is emotionally obsessed with her to the point of being emotionally abusive.
Obsessive love: Phase One: Attraction phase
-An instant attraction to romantic interest, usually occurring within the first few Minuten of meeting.
-An immediate urge to rush into a relationship regardless of compatibility.
-Becoming "hooked on the look" of another, focusing on the person's physical characteristics while ignoring personality differences.
-Unrealistic fantasies about a relationship with a Liebe interest, assigning "magical" qualities to an object of affection.
-The beginnings of obsessive, controlling behaviors begin to manifest.
When Du look at the first thing it says about Phase One, Edward became attracted to Bella (or at least her scent) when he first saw her. And though, he didn't rush into the relationship (Bella pretty much did that), he did get hooked on a physical trait of Bella's-her scent. And even Twilight, he started to become overprotective and controlling of Bella.
Obsessive love: Phase Two: Anxious phase
-Unfounded thoughts of infidelity on the part of a partner and demanding accountability for normal daily activities.
-An overwhelming fear of abandonment, including baseless thoughts of a partner walking out on the relationship in favor of another person.
-The need to be in constant contact with a Liebe interest via phone, E-Mail oder in person.
-Strong feelings of mistrust begin to emerge, causing depression, resentment and relational tension.
-The continuation and escalation of obsessive, controlling behaviors.
-Feeling the other partner doesn't and shouldn't need to contact, meet, bond and/or speak with others.
-Violent reactions (verbal and physical) directed to the loved one and/or to oneself if the controlled person starts denying the obsessive demands.
These are also some traits that Edward has. He does often have thoughts of the chance that Bella might be cheating and often tries to control her daily schedule. He also has thoughts and fears of Bella cheating on oder leaving him for another, particularly Jacob. And when it comes to Bella, Edward is extremely distrustful. He treats like a naive little girl and feels that Bella mustn't contact, meet, speak, oder bond with/to Friends and family as Edward screws with Bella's truck to keep her away from Jacob and in Twilight, doesn't even care about Bella warning her dad about James.
Obsessive love: Phase Three: Obsessive phase
-The onset of "tunnel vision," meaning that the relationally dependent person cannot stop thinking about a Liebe interest and required his oder her constant attention.
-Neurotic, compulsive behaviors, including rapid telephone calls to Liebe interest's place of residence oder workplace.
-Unfounded accusations of "cheating" due to extreme anxiety.
-"Drive-bys" around a Liebe interest's Home oder place of employment, with the goal of assuring that the person is where "he oder she is supposed to be."
-Physical oder electronic monitoring activities, following a Liebe interest's whereabouts throughout the course of a Tag to discover daily activities.
-Extreme control tactics, including questioning a Liebe interest's commitment to the relationship (guilt trips) with the goal of manipulating a Liebe interest into providing Mehr attention.
Now here I see that many these traits do match up. Edward is very obsessed to the point that Bella is almost all he can think about. Now, I know he doesn't make calls to her house all the time, but Du can see that Edward's behaviors are very compulsive. He also goes to her house oder wherever to check if she's where he wants her to be. And in Eclipse, he even removes the engine from her truck to keep her from Jacob and also follows her when she is going to Angela's.
Obsessive love: Phase Four: Destructive phase
-Overwhelming feelings of depression (feeling "empty" inside).
-A sudden loss of self-esteem, due to the collapse of the relationship.
-Extreme feelings of self-blame and at times, self-hatred.
-Anger, rage and a desire to seek revenge against a Liebe interest for breaking off the relationship.
-Denial that the relationship has ended and attempting to "win a loved one back" Von making promises "to change".
-The use of drugs, alcohol, Essen oder sex to "medicate" the emotional pain.
-Suicidal thoughts may manifest. Without emotional counseling, the subject is at risk of suicide.
Now this is when I must explain. Though Edward doesn't have all these traits, he definitely has at least 3 to 4 of them. In New Moon, when he left Bella, though he might not have Lost his self-esteem, he has become deeply depressed as for him, his life without Bella is/was a "moonless night". And I believe that had Bella broken up with Edward, he could've possibly killed her since she dumped him and also because she did know about the vampire world oder he would've denied it all and tried to stay with her. And when he thought Bella was dead, he became suicidal and tried to get the Volturi to kill him.
This is my rant on Edward and his obsession with Bella. Agree with me, thank you! Disagree with me, it's your opinion, but I have my opinion too.

Hello everyone!
I'm planning on Schreiben a letter to Stephenie Meyer regarding the Twilight series. I wanted to address all the points many people do not like in the series. The letter is going to be friendly and straight-forward. I wanted to hear what everyone would want me to include. These are a few of the topics I am going to be including:
- Anti-feminism
- Abusive relationship
- Unhealthy obsession
- Lust does not equal Liebe
- Bella is horribly rude to her Friends (not valued friendships)
These are just a few. Please add anything and if there is something specific you'd like me to add.
I'll be working on this letter and posting on Sunday on Fanpop, so I can add anything else and have your approval and then I will send it to her.
I understand that Seth probably won't let it get to her, but it's worth a shot and I will post his reply (assuming he does reply.)
Thank you! :)
