Did anyone hate Bella as much as I did in this book.

Did anyone hate Bella as much as I did in this book.

Seriously. Everybody seems to be going on about Edward and Jacob, but what about Bella?

She took Edward back so quickly and settled into their little routine again. He flat out tells her no, she can't see Jacob so she resorts to a cowardly plan of sneaking away. To her surprise hes gone and stalled her truck so she goes in a little huff up to her room and slams the window. But only a second later goes to open it again.. and to quote the book, "as wide as it can go". Ugh. I mean, the guy ditched you for I can't remember how long and as soon as he's back you are like jello? Have some spine why don't you.

As for her with Jacob, he was so utterly callous about Edward and his family. Yet here she is holding his hand? When her boyfriend/almost fiance is off somewhere else? and it's supposed to be innocently as friends? Riiight. Anyway, she keeps telling him to stop being an ass about her vamps, which he does for about two seconds everytime, and then starts acting like his pompous self again. What does she do? Bella goes into 5 year old pout mode and threatens to leave half a dozen times but doesn't actually do it. A decent girlfriend would be like stfu right now, or i'm gone.

I could go on and on about every little detail that irks me to no end but my point is that Bella is just weak. Not to mention a complete imbecile. I'm not even halfway through (re-reading) the book and i'm ready to pull my hair out over this girl.

Yep I didn't like her in Eclipse. She makes up excuses for her actions like holding Jacob's hand and such and it bothered me. I know she was confused... but still some of the things she did and the way she acted. She is much more immature in other ways. I mean ya she is mature in the fact that she cooks for Charlie and "took care of her mother" but she was immature in her relationships.

I didn't like the way she treated edward like crap, even though he was overprotective and some might even say abusive. She was like you said, a spineless jelly-fish willing to throw everything away for a boy who left her. And how she was always sneaking away with Jacob, she was rubbing edwards face in it. I understand that this was sort of nessicary so that there would be a love triangle, I sitll think SMeyer could have done it a little better.

Her losing her total indpendence irked me the most!! I understand that Edward was the love of her life... but you DO NOT throw away your independence and everything that matters to you just for a guy. You can't truely be happy in a relationship until you are happy with the relationship you have with yourself.

Yeah I wouldn't say Edward was abusive, a little too overprotective, yes. And I don't hate jacob either, he loves her and will fight for her, even though I don't like the way he goes about it.

Bella was very 'Jacob this, Jacob that' to Edward and he was.. not very understanding but he didn't say anything rude about him, he held his composure. On the other hand Jacob was a rude as possible and she would tolerate it :-w

I know! I cringed a little when Bella went to visit her mom and she even said that Bella revolved around him like he was the sun or something. I can't remember the exact words..

I don't hate her really, just the way she does things and handles situations. I don't mind her as much in other books.
