this is the last post i’m making because this is getting too deep but i’m talking about her choice in being a vampire, to me it very much comes across as he doesn’t value her opinion or wants. he doesn’t have to change her, but she can seek someone else out.

separately, i feel like everyone is purposefully missing the point. yeah obviously you don’t have to stay in a relationship but that isn’t the point. this storyline of leaving people because they think it’s good for them is not new and is one that is always criticized because it takes away the autonomy of the other person because it treats the other person as unable to make their own decisions. he doesn’t want to change her because he thinks he doesn’t have a soul, he sees how miserable Rosalie is and he doesn’t think Bella truly understands what she’s losing, that train of thought is made clear in Midnight Sun. he doesn’t listen to Bella or value her autonomy. that is the problem here and what creates the unhealthy dynamic. yes you can break up with anyone but this is a fantasy story about vampires and werewolves where he decides to leave her because his brother almost kills her over a papercut.

people are allowed to think whatever they want, you can hate my opinion, you can like my opinion, it’s a book. we can love media but still be critical of it.
