Being a movie about vampires, things are obviously going to be a bit on the atypical side. But this is a good point. These are obviously indicators of abuse, even if they make sense in context....but then again, a lot of abuse "makes sense" in context. Or at least the abuser thinks so. I'd say it does sound abusive, and doesn't put out a good message for kids who feed on these books and idolize the characters in them. Even if your boyfriend is a vampire, it doesn't mean he has to be a control freak.

I showed this to my sister, who has all the books and seen the films a few times, and she sed she never thought about it that way. hopefully that is one less teenage girl this film will indoctrinate. 

actually I ment franchise not film.

okay okay i have read all the book and seen the first film.. but let look at this propaly. first of all this book is fiction! its not real 1. edward is a vampire he will act in a way that may scare you Duh. 2. stay away form were wolves i consider that him being conserned for her safety. like if my BF ssaid please dont go hang out with those violent or extremely volatile people id be like i understand but my choice (exactly what bella does). 3. in the first book you see bella following his lead however through the saga you see her actually grown and stand her own we have all let some one else make hard decisions for us, when we are unsure. 4. actually in the book he just states he feel he is not right for her (he a vampire), and doesnt blame her at all. 5. he dosent threaten to kill himself if she leaves him in fact he makes it clear that if she would rather jacob then thats okay and he wouldnt show how much it would hurt him, he simply says i cant live without, im sure we have all felt that way at some point nor does he use this to manipulate her. 6. he throw objects and what not in the clearing in order to show her that she shouldn't like her. (his a vampire) 7. he has never once hurt bella barr the example you have in which he was saving her, i dont think if my BF pushed me over whilst saving me form being runn over is abuse. 8. actually he leaves her on the path, and she walks of into the forest. 9. he scares her by driving after he saves her form being raped. better you would be driving a bit fast after save your love ones from that fate. 10. taking you away form your home when your home is not safe again is not abuse. 11. his father is a doctor why go to the hospital when he can help. 12. gender roles tough one but as i said we she bella grown and stand her own, also again, this is a fiction fanasty/romance novel and even tho im a feminist, i think alot of girl/women would like to once in a while take the back seat and have him do everything for you and put you on a pedisil. 13. in the book bella has a complex relationship with jacob, and of coruse edward is jelouse but also werewolf and vampires are age old enemys think that counts for the most of it. and come on we have all been slighty jelsous before. and... ITS a BOOK, a fanasty book the whole point is to read itand get lost in it while you read it. and i think alot of girls/women would like that special thing that edward and bella have as its not based on looks expectations its a it a dream to be enjoyed whilst you read it and if young girls are OBSESSED then they simply are not Mature enough for the book. the fact that many people who havn't read the books take the time to slag it off says more about them than it does the book and if they have read it and they want to bash it, well it just wasnt the right book for you get over it and stop trying to spoil other joy in it. BTW: im not a TWIHARD i just did like the story.

The story, leaving out all the mythical creatures, is a very dramatised account of two people who perhaps come to rely on each other too much, as neither have alot of ability socially ie. making friends. Therefore, they become to obsessed with each other, as both do not have alot of other focus in each of their lives, ie people. The story of Twilight is a perfect example of how balance IS the key in relationships, or else everything is blown completely out of proportion.
