A frightening fact considering the hotline would consider a relationship abusive if even one of the items on its list was checked, never mind fifteen. Edward controls who Bella is allowed to associate with, threatens to kill himself if anything happens to her and frequently scares her in a variety of ways such as by driving too fast or abandoning her in the woods after breaking up with her.
Bella herself is also not free from guilt — effectively forcing Edward to agree to sleep with her before agreeing to marriage. Most worryingly, in the fourth book, Breaking Dawn , Edward and Jacob have a discussion that centres on physically forcing Bella into an abortion that she has refused.
The only reason this course of events does not take place is that Bella has the protection of other vampires who will not allow it and are capable of protecting her. These vampires spend the duration of her pregnancy as body guards, stopping Edward from physically forcing the abortion on her. Well, a lot, I'm afraid. Edward Cullen is not, I repeat, is not a good boyfriend. He is actually an abusive boyfriend.
Before I go on to offer proof as to why Edward is abusive, I will clarify what I mean by "abusive". What is an abusive boyfriend? There are different kinds of abuse.
Many people think of a boy who actually beats up his girlfriend. That is physical abuse. There is also psychological abuse. This includes emotional abuse and the abuse of her rights. Edward definitely abuses Bella emotionally as well as abusing her rights.
He even abuses her physically a few times. But before I get there, I will go over the signs of an abusive boyfriend in which Edward exhibits. He insists on driving her to school and driving her home again, he is always with her. This may not seem bad at first, but it actually serves the purpose of making her dependent on him and letting him "keep an eye on her".
You may say, "but he thinks Jacob is dangerous! He even admits it himself later on; he's just jealous. Whenever Bella says she wants to do something against Edward's wishes, he questions her and finds a way to get her out of it.
The most obvious would be Jacob Black. See the last point for information on that. However, it does not end there. There is also Mike, Tyler and all the other boys at school. He forces painkillers on her when she clearly does not want them at the end of Twilight.
He forces her to let him drive her home "He was towing me toward his car now, pulling me by my jacked" This is more than being realistic.
This is insulting her. She spends all her time with him. Adrienne Tyler is a features writer for Screen Rant.
