[BellaAndEdward] Re: Edward smothers Bella

--Thanks for replying back with some interesting facts.I like both Edward and Jacob since they both make Bella happy. It just seems so suffocating at times how she's under a lot of stress because she can't relax.It seems both guys have a grip on one of her arms and are pulling her back and forth like that game "tug of war".

I'm glad that she got to speak to Jacob. I know neither Jacob and Edward get a long but Bella should be able to continue being Jacob's friend. >

Also, the fact that he lost his mother to death, he can't go through this again---it would be too hard for him. So, the only way he can deal with this is go back to how he was brought up. His father probably did the same thing with his mother---he is just following a pattern he saw early in his life.

Sure, Edward is a few years older then Jake---vampire years---but you have to remember---he died when he was 17. He's not much older than Jake in that way. They're a product of their environment---both are. And both make Bella better---Edward gives her love and compassion---Jake gives her fun and friendship. It's just that both had to change their ways before they could find out Bella would always have both of them---and they need not be jealous of that fact.

> Yes, it took me till Breaking Dawn to like Jake---and even love Edward. I can say now with talking to other's that Edward did bug me at some points---as did Bella. I was talking to a friend last night wondering why the heck Edward and Jake even was attracted to Bella. Cause she wasn't really that exciting in the book until she changed. She had major faults---flirting---being dense as heck---etc. Then I felt for poor jake and thought, well, he brought it on himself too. All three were flawed. But all three were saved by love---Edward and Bella---Jake and well, I won't let on to who.
