The song for this chapter is A Little More by Skillet
[audio:https://twilightguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/alittlemore.mp3]
The curious thing about taking a rest in the middle of the day is that sometimes, you simply do not wake up as soon as you had planned. Obviously, having been tired out from not doing my Calculus, I took a nap intended to be short and woke up 4 hours later: still not having read another chapter in Eclipse. Goes to show I need to either get more sleep, or seriously consider becoming one of those vampire folk.
I find Charlie so amusing. It is so very obvious what he wants, and that is for Bella to forget about Edward, fall deeply in love with Jacob, and make Billy Black, his best friend, also his relative through Bella’s marriage. It is the epitome of a dream wedding for Charlie: except for the fact that the bride doesn’t want to marry Jacob. She wants Edward Cullen, whom Charlie despises and has no qualms with making unwelcome in his house. This is understandable. As previously stated, Bella is insanely in love with Edward — Charlie’s observations stop at the ‘insane’ part.
Charlie, later on, attempts a rather awkward attempt at conversation with Bella about her and Edward’s developing … erm … relationship. I can think of many things Charlie would rather talk about, including:
1. Ingrown Toenails
2. Leprosy
3. The Blobfish
but he seemed absolutely determined to exercise his parental role and give Bella a good talking to. Not like he got much of anywhere (except the resulting chortles and chuckles coming from yours truly).
“Just tell me that you two are being responsible,” Charlie pled, obviously wishing a pit would open in the floor so that he could fall in.
If anything, the title of this chapter is exactly what Bella was practicing; and quite well I might add:
I sprinted for the stairs.
Good move Bella.
For Edward to so forcefully try to convince Bella to go see her mother tells me all is not well in Forks. It makes me wonder — what is happening in that town that makes him so intent on having her out of there that weekend? Even Bella notices it, and so I am wondering if he knows something we do not… something that Alice saw, perhaps? Maybe he hopes to convince Bella to leave town for that weekend, and avoid whatever it is that Alice had predicted.
I will admit that sometimes, I do not agree with what Edward does. Please, steady your nooses, blunderbusses and guillotines, comrades. The fact is that Edward intentionally sabotaged Bella’s truck so that she could not leave, and that is something than can be taken two ways. Many people might think that Edward, by doing this, is pretty much forcing Bella to do what he wants, rather than what she wants. So what if she wants to see Jacob? Does Edward really have a right to tell her not to?
However, what causes me to trust Edward is the fact that because he is a vampire, and because he knows so many things through Alice that Bella does not, he is probably acting in a way to protect Bella. He nearly lost her once, and probably is paranoid about losing her again. But it makes me wonder where the line is drawn? Is Edward really acting to keep Bella safe, or is it to keep Bella from La Push? One is in Bella’s best interest, but the other is in Edward’s.
I haven’t read far enough to know for sure what his motivation is for this, but it seems that Edwards has been overwhelmingly unselfish so far, and I don’t know why he would change now. That is why I still believe that he is doing this to protect her… and perhaps a tiny bit of his own selfish loathing towards Jacob, who has been trying to steal his girl for some time now. Edward may not be human, but he is still a man 😀
QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS: Do you think Edward has gone too far by sabotaging Bella’s truck, or is he just doing his best to protect her?

Yeah. Most people would feel that he went to far sabatoging her truck but, when he tells her that Alice saw her disappear what could you expext. If the one you had already proved that you can’t live without disappered from the future wouldn’t you freak out?
Personally (and not just because I’m a total Jacob fangirl), I think Edward DID go too far in sabotaging Bella’s truck… He’s definately over-estimating the risk of Bella going to LaPush and, as you mentioned, he IS a man…
He needs to understand that Jacob is Bella’s best friend in the world… how can he expect to keep them apart?
(Of course, I know way more than I’m letting on, but I don’t wanna spoil you, Kaleb! Hahaha Eclipse is my favorite book in the series… Hope you love it as much as I do!)
I also think Edward went a bit overboard with sabotaging Bella’s truck. I get that he’s trying to be overprotective of her…especially with all that they’ve been through so far…but I call foul on that.
I think if Edward was just any other guy, I’d say he’s gone too far, but it’s just really different here, because its not some normal human thing that he’s trying to protect her from, i think it makes his excessive behavior acceptable. Whenever he starts being paranoid, it’s usually in Bella’s best interest. He’s just not selfish. He’s willing to give him his own happiness for her. I think that after all the drama in New Moon, the thought of losing her would push him to doing something as extreme as messing up her truck. LMAO at the Britney comment! I don’t think I would’ve been able to stop laughing long enough to read anything below the song title!
Oh, and rofl at Britney Spears! That is just precious.
You know, I was also a little miffed at Edward. I think that I was just as angry as Bella that he would go to such lengths to keep her away from her best friend. However, I, like Bella, can never be mad at Edward long; whatever his faults or ill-made judgments, I wouldn’t tell him to stay away either. As we have already seen, he is prone to extreme behavior that he can completely justify in his own mind. Edward is always putting Bella’s safety first. Always. But he isn’t always right about the things that he needs to protect her from. I really liked your comment, “Edward may not be human, but he is still a man.” I think you hit it right on with that one. There is no doubt in my mind that, along with trying to protect Bella, he just wants to stick it to Jacob because he’s jealous. So to make a long story longer, yeah, Edward may have gone a little far, but isn’t that just, sort of, his thing? And don’t we all love him just the same despite it?
By the way, Charlie and Bella’s awkward conversation is one of my favorites in the whole series! It never fails to make me chuckle heartily.
edward is not being overprotective. like someone said, he lost her in new moon and he’s afraid if she’s near the wolves she could get hurt. he’s always looking after her best interest, she’s extremely clumsy! i loved the part where he took the piece from her engine, it was funny and she didn’t stay mad at him anyways.
i think he did go a little too far with the sabotage thing..but one of his qualities is overreacting…so knowing that that the-love-of-ur-life’s best friend/rival is as dangerous/strong as u are and uncontrollable..i dont think any guy would react calmly to that..at least not Edward 😛
but thats just me..
he still annoyed the bejesus out of me by doing that though…jeez..
lmao to the britney spears note..
overprotective? really? we know its an appropriate title..but cmon…
what is happening to the world today? 😛
Did Edward go too far in sabotaging her truck? How ’bout back in Twilight when he was spying on her in her sleep? Is that too far? 😛
I believe that Edward did go too far, but he will go to any lengths to keep Bella safe. Leaving Bella was his decision, and was only motivated by the prospect of Bella finally being safe. Despite his return, Edward still will go to the extremes to keep Bella safe. It is going too far, but Edward is Edward, so no one can stay mad at him for too long haha. Especailly since he truly believes he’s doing the right thing. I believe that Edward seriously needs to listen to Bella.
(I think I accidently deleted the second half of the comment)
“As previously stated, Bella is insanely in love with Edward — Charlie’s observations stop at the ‘insane’ part.”
Hahaha I loved that. This chapter is hilarious and you can’t help but feel the second-hand embarrassment for Bella.
Too funny though 🙂
Ha! I have wished to be a vampire. Sleep is just far too time consuming and necessary. I’ve got more to do than waking hours.
I think Edward is going too far, but at the same time, the reason he does is acceptable. Wolves are dangerous. Alice can’t see them and Edward wants nothing bad to befall Bella. I honestly would react like Bella. I wouldn’t be happy about it, but I wouldn’t shut my window, so to speak.
I think it’s interesting that you brought up “drawing the line.” One of my classes has been about that this week. It can be quite controversial.
Book world-
No, Edward didn’t go too far, because Alice saw her disappear, for all he knew, she wouldn’t come back.
However, when I hear other girls say they want to find a guy exactly like Edward, it really worries me. Outside of the book universe, we are left with a possessive boyfriend character who sabotaged a truck to keep his girlfriend from one of her friends, slips into her room at night to watch her sleep (who when he does is in a state between wanting to kill her and wanting to smother her with protection), isolates her from her other relationships by becoming the sole focus of her world, and leaves her in such a depressed state after leaving her once, that she feels that she is only half a person without him and can’t even really go on.
That’s not healthy, no matter how you cut it. It worries me that girls are using this as a basis for a relationship. and don’t tell me they aren’t. I’ve been counseling girls that are.
Ahahah! That Blobfish is the most hilarious thing I’ve seen all day! You’ve outdone yourself. Ahaha.
Loved this part:
‘If anything, the title of this chapter is exactly what Bella was practicing; and quite well I might add:
I sprinted for the stairs.
Good move Bella.’
And, of course, the end line. I love that quote. 😀
Now to answer your question.
I think he completely crossed the line when he took apart her truck! Controlling much? This is one of the main reasons Edward annoys me so much in Eclipse. As I said in my comment for the last chapter, I’m all for Team Edward, but he seriously needs to get a life outside of Bella.
Not kidding, if I were in Bella’s place, I would have kicked him. Hard. Then run. Not that either of these things would do any good, what with his rock hard skin and crazy speed, but it would have made me feel good. Seriously, what the hell gives him the right to do something like that? Bella should have told him to back off. Jeez, let her have at least one friend.
First time I read it, I thought it was good that she opened the window again, but, looking back on it, Edward probably could have used a little time away from her. At least a little retribution for his actions. Being a vampire doesn’t make him exempt from punishment. *nods*
There, I’m done. Now hurry up and read the next chapter!
Kendall –
Ahaha, your comment made me laugh so much! Especially this part:
‘Outside of the book universe, we are left with a possessive boyfriend character who sabotaged a truck to keep his girlfriend from one of her friends, slips into her room at night to watch her sleep (who when he does is in a state between wanting to kill her and wanting to smother her with protection)’
My thoughts exactly. Sure Edward’s all sweet in the books, but in real life… it’s extremely creepy behavior. Actually, even in the books it’s pretty creepy. As Edward put it in Midnight Sun:
‘Like a stalker. An obsessed stalker. An obsessed, vampire stalker.’
Even he admits it.
Well, there’s my add on. 😀
On one hand yes he has gone too far. He should know that by trying to put his foot down with bella shes just gonna try harder.
On the other hand I know whats about to happen so I can see his point of view.
Edward looks a little like a parent in this chapter – ironically while Charlie tries to protect Bella pushing her away from Edward and twords Jacob ;), Edward tries to keep her close to him and away from Jacob 😀
Both Edward and Charlie have only Bella’s best interest at heart so they can be forgiven, even when they go too far, as in this case (the sex talk and the sabotage of the car XD)
where’s there’s love there’s forgiveness… or something like that 😉
Okay, so I do understand why Edward did what he did, but if I were Bella I might be a little pissed. I mean… Jacab’s not all that bad, if only Edward would hurry up and realize that. I mean, doesn’t he owe Jacob? Those were my thoughts while reading this exact chapter. Edward kinda made me mad in this one… however I still manage to love him 🙂 because when it comes to bella he’s what’s best for her ( i believe ) But when it comes to my personal preference, I wish Jacob would propose to me!! haha. Have a good day Kaleb! ♥
Well… While I understand why he did it, now that I go back and look it seems like he’s extremely possessive of her. If he trusted her, he’d just warn her about not going and hope she stayed at home. It’s not really his business to, by any means necessary, literally FORCE her away from La Push. If I were him, I’d think of it as my fault because he left and she found comfort the way she could. Now that he’s back he expects her to give up what got her through the months he was gone. Wow, that’s the first thing wrong with Edward Cullen that I’ve found so far! (I still love him though.)
Alright, stepping off my soapbox now…
Eh. Edward did sort of go a little too far. But it is for her protection. He knows what happened with Sam and Emily, and he doesn’t want Jacob’s anger to hurt Bella. So, I guess it’s understandable, but a little overboard. He should be able to trust Bella. But I guess because he doesn’t trust Jacob right now, he wouldn’t trust Bella with him. So, over all, Edward was only doing it out of love for Bella.
Yes, Edward did go too far with the truck! Very over-possessive and worrying. At least, it would be if either Bella or Edward were real. 😛
Another big flaw: He doesn’t tell Bella stuff! He says, ‘Do this, it’s important’ but never actually explains, which if I were Bella, would drive me insane. Even if it were for my protection, I’d demand a full explanation first!
Also, does anyone else find Edward calling Bella ‘love’ all the time incredibly patronising? *rolls eyes*
yea… I was mad at Edward for a long while after New Moon and during Eclipse because his overreactions cause a lot of problems (James, anyone? Volturi, anyone?) and he needs to trust Bella by telling her the whole truth once in a while.
Relationships are about communication, Edward.
I can understand why Edward wants to keep Bella away from Jake (especially because I’ve read the entire book) but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. I do think he’s kind of overreacting. This is one time where I think people are justified in saying that Edward is controlling. But the weird thing is, at some point in Eclipse, all of the main characters make me mad. Edward just happens to be first.
I don’t think that Edward was going too far. He’s trying to protect Bella, and yes, I’m sure that part of it is his prejudice, but would anyone expect Jacob to let Bella see Edward if the situation were reversed?
I think Edward went too far, but I just can’t blame him
I know he means for the best, but is his best the best for Bella?
and the question Charlie asks Bella is one of my favorite part of New Moon!
Yeah, actually. I do think that Edward is being overprotective. I think that he knows that Jacob wouldn’t hurt her. She is just as safe with either of them (which might not be too safe). He loves her, but I think he is just a little jealous. This is either a Jake vs. Edward thing or it is a werewolf vs. vampire thing.
– Sam
I completely agree; there are times where Edward may go a little too far. He always has good intentions, which is why most readers and Bella forgive him. The thing is, if it was anyone else, if Mike was the one who helped Bella when Edward left and not Jake, Edward would (grudgenly) let her hang out with him. Edward might even attempt to make friends with him. I was always under the impression that Edward has a problem with Jake because he’s a wearwolf. That’s all. It’s a prejudice he has. His prejudice kinds of bugged me thorughout Eclipse as a matter of fact, but you’ll see how that resolves itself.
Has no one noticed that Edward over reacts to everything! He is over baring and controlling when it comes to Bella. She is his life now, and he doesn’t want anything to happen to her. I may not agree with his methods but I can understand them. I believe that all the characters in this book make mistakes, but that is the joy of adolescence. I especially love what Brittany said and no If the situations where reverse; Jacob would never let Bella see Edward, if Bella and Jacob were together.
But Jacob is 16, what can you say did anyone else act any better when they were 16, goodness even 18?
Yes, I think that Edward went too far, and this definitely wasn’t the first time. As I was scrolling through the comments above, I noticed someone said that in the book it seems completely okay. But if something like this were to happen in real life, you have a crazy, overprotective boyfriend on your hands.
In my opinion, his overprotectiveness would be easier to deal with if he told her the truth behind his actions. Bella doesn’t deserve to be lied to again. We all know where Edward’s last lie landed them. With something as important as this, she needs to know everything that’s going on.
I tried to be neutral on this comment, instead of being a complete Jacob fangirl. xD
HA! I thought that I was the only one that knew what a blobfish was!! That totally just made my day. =D
Bella went too far, and continues to in this whole darn book. This is my least favorite book because of Bella’s behavior. You don’t get to be best friends with another guy when he’s in love with you and wants you in a romantic way. It’s absolutely absurd. Of course I am married, have children, and a different perspective from many of those commenting here. But trust me, if your soul mate or husband has an issue with a friendship you are in, you get out of it. It’s disrespectful for Bella to pursue a friendship with Jacob, to both Edward and Jacob. Okay, I’m off my soap box now.
Ok, while I do think Edward went too far and it kind of pissed me off that he took her truck apart I do understand why he did it and why Bella didn’t want him to stay away even though she was upset with him. I don’t think it’s that he’s prejudice of the werewolves (though they are of the vampires) as much as he knows they are dangerous (see Sam & Emily) and doesn’t want her to be hurt. You’ve got to think, Jacob is mad that Edward came back and that Bella choose him, how does Edward know he won’t let that anger get to him and accidentally hurt Bella. Now, we, as does Bella, know Jacob would never hurt her, but as said many times Edward overreacts and, as even you said Kaleb, Edward is still a man. Jacob was there when he wasn’t and got pretty close to getting what was left of Bella’s heart after he left, he’s bound to be jealous. I also agree with some of the others up there that just think if Jacob and Bella were together but Edward was still around, Jacob would never let her near Edward for her “protection” (yes I used quotation marks, because we all know Edward would never hurt her either) and because he’d be jealous.
I do agree with Kendall though about girls wanting a relationship like Edward and Bella’s, it’s ok in these books because of all the supernatural stuff, but in real life it would not be a healthy relationship. Now, finding a guy with some of Edwards more gentlemanly traits isn’t a bad idea, but not someone who you need to be your whole world.
I’m sure in Edward’s head, breaking ehr truck made perfect, logical sense. I can see him sitting next to Bella at night. She murmurs Jacob’s name and Edward thinks about possibly letting her to go see Jacob. In Edawrd’s mind he seeing Jacpb getting angry over something stupid and ripping Bella in to wet pink ribbons.
Never the less, Edward is prone to paranoia. I think he just needs less think time. I think after he thinks on it, Edward would realize what he’s doing.
It’s not that I’m saying what Edward did is right – although some say it’s the thought that counts. However, we have to remember, that although he’s more than 100 years old, he “died” when he was 17. He even says, he hasn’t really had anything along the lines of what we would call experience with girls, just like Bella doesn’t have much experience with boys. They’re both just learning how to act, and what’s ok and not ok. He may not quite wrap his pretty head around the fact that that’s just not ok. It’s a good thing he’s pretty… (and being a musician doesn’t hurt, either!)
Look at it from Edward’s perspective. I think it all comes down to the fact that Alice can’t see what’s going on. If Alice could see Bella while she was with Jacob, I think Edward would be a little more relaxed. They (the vampires) have come to rely on these powers so heavily, they can’t function without them.
On an additional note, I think it was really interesting how SM framed that conversation…forgive me, I don’t have a book in front of me, but if I remember, Edward prevents Bella from going, and then immediately backs away, and lets her be angry. He gives her the choice as to whether or not she wants to see him (Edward). I think that shows that Edward is thinking of Bella and her happiness – if only after her safety. Yes, Edward is jealous of Jacob, but I still think that’s way down on the list of motives for him tinkering with her car.
The blobberfish is a pretty cexay beast, who wouldn’t want to talk about those all day…
I loved the song choice, I am a HUGE fan of Skillet, as witnessed by anyone who walks away or sticks their mp3 player in when someone mentions them or Relient K…lol
On to your question- I personally think that Edward was honestly doing his best to protect her from what inconceived horrors result from the werewolves, and doesn’t realize that he has gone WAY too far, not only on this occassion, but on other ones. Bella sees that he was doing it out of love for her, and thats what convinces her to re-open her window. No matter what happens, he still loves her, and she him, so even if this is semi-childish, it doesn’t change that fact.
Also, wouldn’t Bella do everything in her power to stop Edward if she thought he was doing something stupid? I think so.
Can’t wait until chapter three, I absolutely burst out in luaghs at that chapter, and almost got to the point of tears.
CrazyTurtleChick{JL}
I don’t think Edward went to far. I think a very small part of it was him was jealous, but for the most part, he is trying to protect her.
In human terms he went too far, but in vampire/werewolf terms it was smart. Edward has a much greater idea of how dangerous Jake could be, and he doesn’t know how careful Jake is around Bella.
THANK you for declining the song suggestion. I loathe Britney Spears with a passion that will not be abated.
Oh, and the last phrase you used… *melt*. Always. Gosh.
I think an important point in Edward’s defense of “going to far” is that Edward has actually seen Bella dead through Alice’s visions – because Edward sees whatever Alice sees – and Edward will do anything he can to prevent those visions from coming true. That’s one reason we can’t compare his actions to that of a normal teenage boy. He has a bigger knowledge base (plus he’s fictional). If my daughter dated someone who dismantled her vehicle to prevent her from leaving I’d be getting a Restraining Order. However, Edward operates from the perspective of not letting Bella fulfil any of Alice’s horrible visions of the future. (I’m willing to conceed there’s a little of him that just wants to keep her away from Jacob.)
I am not sure if Bella can be overprotected. If you look at her track record, she’s obviously a magnet for dangerous trouble whether she brings it on herself, like in NM, or she stumbles upon it, like every day of her life.
It makes sense to look at Edward and wonder what his overreacting means, because it does have meaning, but what about rationalizing the odds that something might happen to Bella. The odds alone, not to mention Alice’s inability to see her when near Jacob, give Edward his rational to take any measure to keep her safe. Plus, even though she wants to see Jacob, Bella does want/need/trust Edward’s protection.
This friction obviously won’t go over well for too long, which leaves very few choices for Edward. Bella will be hard pressed to give in … I wonder what the ever selfless Edward will do?
I also agree that this fantastical story comes with a heap full of the realistically unlikely, because this love is possible in this fictional world alone. But can keep from desiring such unwavering true love? Goodness, Romeo and Juliet kill themselves but their love still remains classic. Their suicide merely reminds us of it’s imperfections, its humanity. Now, people will remember Bella and Edward, and when someone wants to negate the possibility of such a love, or the unhealthy nature of it, they only have to say, “That love only exists in the immortal world.” But people still look to Romeo and Juliet, so I doubt girls will discontinue using Edward as a measuring stick because of his issues; it’s really just all about the love.
Great post Kaleb! I really thought your question was going to fling open the Jacob vs Edward can, but thankfully it didn’t. 🙂
Fear not, good Kaleb. You will not be hung. 🙂 At least not by me. Indeed you will find out Edward’s true motivations and all will be well in our little Twilight world. 🙂
Anywho, trust in a relationship is a hard thing to develop. We all have our insecurities which cause us to do some crazy things. (Holy cow I’m psycho analyzing a work of fiction, oh geez.) True, Edward has an overdeveloped sense of mortality causing him to be uber protective of the one and only thing he loves in the whole wide world, Bella. Rest assured Bella has some (very effective) tricks up her sleeve that help balance out this relationship (as if one could ever doubt that Steph wouldn’t write it that way in the first place)…keep reading and blogging, dear Kaleb. We love your insight and hilarity. 🙂
The truck was nothing… just wait.
I think Edward exaggerated by doing that. He can’t be controlling her like that.
But I understand it though.. He almost lost her once.
– Johanna
Like everyone else its yes and no. Yes, he did kind of go off the deep end sabotaging Bella’s truck (but notice how she still throws the window wide open for him cuz she can’t stay mad). No because he really thinks he is protecting her. There is a bit of jealousy there, but it is mostly because he is terrified of her getting hurt at all.
This is a fun chapter – from the hot kiss in the bedroom to the sex talk with Charlie (mortification).
Kaleb, maybe you should broaden your question to include pushing for a trip to Florida to protect Bella without being honest with her. Edward makes some mistakes – he isn’t perfect. Bella doesn’t see them because she loves him. Yes, Edward is overprotective. Yes, Edward is insanely jealous of Jacob (as he should be). I really wish we had all of Midnight Sun, but what we do have gives some insight into his thinking. He is ready to kill Mike Newton over his thoughts about Bella, I can’t imagine how he feels toward Jacob, someone Bella actually has feelings for.
However, if someone dismantled my daughter’s car to keep her from visiting another friend – I’d be a mad momma bear!! Even Emmett would be no match for me!! lol
I think we can just call Edward’s behavior simply an overreaction. C’mon, who hasn’t overreacted at some point in a relationship…..besides this isn’t a typical relationship, we are talking about true, all-consuming love with a healthy dose of real danger and fear of loss thrown into the mix. And, whoever said Edward had perfect control over his emotions…..as we know from his own words in New Moon, he is skilled at putting on a facade, but that doesn’t mean that just below the surface the emotional turmoil isn’t raging.
Edward just has a tendency to go overboard in general. The truck sabotage was too much, but it’s all understandable for reasons people have already pointed out. It doesn’t make it right that his intentions appear to be pure, but it makes it acceptable.
Like everyone else, I think it’s a yes and a no. Edward was just being his normal self and being protective. He has a sota good reason to be jealous…but he needed to calm down. Bella knows what she’s doing and I think that Jacob is a good enough person that he wouldn’t try anything haha. But, I totally understand where Jacob and Edward are coming from.
By the way.. you are awesome! I hope you continue to enjoy Eclipse 🙂

I think we need to look a bit at Edward’s perspective, here. I mean to HIM, Bella’s running off to frolick with a pack of rabid dogs. If I knew MY boyfriend was going to go play with a foamy Old Yeller, I’d beat his truck to smitherines with a baseball bat. With nails in.
Now, certain things Edward does WOULD be creepy if it wasn’t for all that supernatural mumbo-jumbo, but to HIM Bella’s seriously a china doll. She breaks. Especially being BELLA. She breaks, and she honestly has horrible judgment when it comes to self preservation. Now, he got her into this. He put a vampire attack-my-girlfriend homing device on her. I think he’s seriously just trying to prevent her from being destroyed by the supernatural world she chooses to live in.
But, what Kendall says: HELLS YEAH. Outside of saving you from literal blood-thirsty vampires, if your boyfriend acts like Edward, he needs to back the hell off.
