scogburn picked No. It's totally normal to watch your girlfriend sleep.:
Controlling, maybe, but for a good cause..he does not want Bella to become a vampire because she might miss out on human experiences, plus there are moral issues in question. Other than that, I thought Edward was considerate, selfless, responsible, and very loving. He's most selfless when he does not want to change her... he could still slip up and kill her if she's not a vampire.

Abusive is being rude, inconsiderate, touching inappropriately, and slapping a woman around.... among other things. He is a little stalkish, sneaking into her bedroom at night, without her knowing about, but its more to protect her and be near her. Read the draft of Midnight Sun to get a glimpse of his thoughts while he watches her sleep. This is just my opinion and interpretation.

PMT picked Yes. He's overprotective, stalks her and is generally abusive.:
it's natural to watch people sleep? It's natural to not let her do what she wants? Even if she 'means the world to him', that doesn't take away the fact he's abusive and controlling. And a lot of the time he is controlling it's got nothing to do with protecting her. I think Edward's a bit of a freak.

I agree with you PMT especially since he was watching her sleep before they even started dating, and abusive doesn't have to mean he hits her.

carly-hope picked No. It's totally normal to watch your girlfriend sleep.:
its not anuusal to watch your BG/GF sleep. doing it before you know that person is maybe not so normal but he is far from abusive. overprotective he is. but is completaly understandable giving he is what he is and knows what he knows

Controlling, definately. Overprotective, yes. Abusive... I'm not so sure.

Watching her sleep without her knowing was wrong, as was stopping her seeing Jacob just because of his prejudice against werewolves (which he says is the reaosn later on in Eclipse).

Hellohoudini picked No. It's totally normal to watch your girlfriend sleep.:
How was Edward abusive? He never hit her or yelled at her or called her names or used her....yes I'll agree with the overprotective part and maybe he was alittle controlling at times but he had her best interest at heart...but abusive? never!

He is creepy and weird.

It's really sad to me that teenage girls think that that is what love is like.

alexajaye picked Yes. He's overprotective, stalks her and is generally abusive.:
The choice I made says it all, and I agree with everyone who said Yes. Because he is controlling and he does stalk her. Messing with her truck so she can't go to La Push was just wrong. He never really gives her the chance to make her own choices. He only agrees to change her after she agrees to marry him. The moment he steps into her life, he becomes the center of her world. That's not love. That's obsession.

myrtoulini picked Yes. He's overprotective, stalks her and is generally abusive.:
well..you have to admit that he is a little bit over... about everything with bella but i wouldn't concern if i were her..the truth is that he has been waiting 4 his other half 4 many years,he has been living with 3 other couples[must have been hard]and now that he actually found her he doesn't want to lose her..he's in love and he shows it..in his own way.if it doesn't seem freaky to bella it shouldn't seem freaky to us either
