There are some interesting conversations about Edward’s abusive and controlling nature as well. Apparently he hits all 15 signs of a dangerous relationship. Seriously if you found out a grown man was watching you sleep at night, all night, for two weeks would you say “Oh, so sweet.” Or would you nod slowly and reach for the phone to call the police. That being said, teenagers are unrealistic both about the limits of love and why those limits are healthy. Myers does the same thing with the werewolves, this love that transcends age and previous conflict. Love and marriage are heavily sanctified in the Mormon Religion so perhaps this is a natural result of blending Vampires with Mormon theology?
On an adult note I found the Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake books unrealistic as well with regards to fidelity. The later ones where Anita has a huge harem of men following her around who are all straight and yet don’t mind being naked in a room with a bunch of other guys and forsake all other relationships for the honor of sharing her with the Seventh Fleet.
Of course that’s more porn than anything else at this point and not even good porn at that.
