Before Bella becomes a vampire, sex with Edward poses a serious threat to her. Edward is afraid that he'll accidentally kill Bella, and she does indeed wake up covered in bruises after they first have sex.
Bella has a conversation about the fate of vampires when Carlisle is tending to her injured arm in "New Moon," and in the same film, Edward explains that the main reason he doesn't want to turn Bella into a vampire is because he doesn't want to damn her.
Edward explains that, as the seat beside him was the only one available, she would have to sit there, and so he would have to kill her, even though there were other people in the room.
Edward Cullen, then, is the answer to all that, but their relationship is far from a healthy one. It's mostly based on control and fear, with him stalking her under the excuse of "protecting" and "caring about her", and his power over Bella was such that even when he left, she was still controlled by him somehow.
He fell in love with her because she was different than the rest of the girls. She was a mystery to him, he couldn't hear her thoughts like he could every one else. She was also unique in the way she thought and acted. She wasn't simple, her thougths didn't follow the norm of a school girl.
“The relationship between Bella and Edward is 100 percent toxic, unhealthy and abusive,” says Rachel Wright, a New York-based licensed psychotherapist and relationship coach. “The Twilight movies promote the idea that women are better when they are dull and submissive.
Edward: Why He's an Abuser
First, one of his hallmark characteristics is his control over Bella and his attempts to isolate her from others. Abusers often use this tactic as a way of ensuring that their victims have no way to escape should they attempt to do so.
On Tuesday, Us Weekly revealed photographs of Stewart passionately kissing Rupert Sanders, the director of her latest film, Snow White and the Huntsman. Sanders, at 41, is nearly twice the age of the 22-year-old Stewart, and what's worse, he's married with two young children.
In Jacob's case, he imprinted on Renesmee — who he affectionately dubbed Nessie — when she was a baby, so no, it doesn't mean he's in love with her. Jacob just has a strong bond to Renesmee and is more of a protector and as she gets older, will be a best friend, someone who's there for her when she needs it.
Bella suffers from a classic case of clinical depression, triggered when Edward leaves her in the woods.
Except that Edward is not asexual or aromantic. In the context of the Twilight franchise, he's basically just waiting for the right seventeen year old girl to magically appear so he can groom her into his vampire bride. The language Meyer chooses is 100% grooming language.
Edward appears so awkward during his first real encounter with Bella because he's barely breathing and because the movie left out a subtle interaction between the two. When Edward finally introduces himself to Bella in class it's one of the cringiest interactions of the entire film.
Bella gets pregnant after one night of passionate sex with her husband Edward the vampire, sex that leads to the destruction of their idyllic honeymoon suite.
Bella's gift is her very powerful shield – one that has been growing and working without her knowing since she was born. Because of her shield, she is protected from powers of the mind – that means that Edward (and Aro) can't read her thoughts, Kate can't shock her, and Jane can't cause her pain.
At the end of Eclipse, she becomes engaged to Edward Cullen, and they marry in Breaking Dawn, one month prior to her 19th birthday. On their honeymoon, she becomes pregnant, and, due to the peculiar nature of her baby, Bella nearly dies giving birth to their daughter, Renesmee.
Alice was transformed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum to protect her from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her. After some research, Alice found her grave and discovered that the date on her tombstone matches the date of her admission to the asylum.
Just before Jacob almost kisses Bella, he says "Kwop kilawtley," which means "stay with me forever" in Quileute.
As Bella is kissing Jacob, she visualizes a future with him and realizes that she is in love with him after all. Edward learns about this kiss while it goes on because "Jacob's thoughts are very loud". Despite Bella realizing her feelings for Jacob, she stays by her decision, leaving him heartbroken.
Jacob is extremely insecure and does a lot of abusive things to Bella. This isn't to say that Edward was a saint as he did some messed up things, too, but Jacob was often out of control. He would use his emotions to manipulate Bella to try to get her to be with him.
During their honeymoon, while making love, Edward bites and ruins the pillows in the 'white room,' which is the bedroom they stay in on the first night, as well as breaking the bed, to which Bella says is "okay". Edward gets upset after the first night because that morning Bella is covered in bruises and feathers.
In the Twilight series, sex comes after marriage – at least according to Edward. So when Edward and Bella get married, they make love for the first time.
Bella falls in love with Jacob in New Moon. I think it's easy to understand why this fact doesn't occur to her. Bella has only fallen in love one time, and it was a very sudden, dramatic, sweep-you-off-your-feet, change-your-world, magical, passionate, all-consuming thing (see: Twilight).
Either way, we know you've been wondering—how the hell does Edward Cullen get it up? Vampires have blood, which is what's used to fill those erections generally required for sex, in their system only after they've hunted and sucked their victims dry.
Sperm are living cells. Edward is dead - his cells have been burned and crystallized by venom, as described by Stephenie Meyer herself. Therefore his sex cells (sperm) are also dead. Dead cells aren't functional.
Edward gaslights Bella for the first portion of the movie by hiding his identity and convincing her that she's going crazy in order to do so. This obviously doesn't translate seamlessly into real life – not a lot of men have to hide that they're vampires.
