9 Reasons Edward And Bella's Relationship Is Actually Extremely Toxic

In This Article:

So, my roommates and I decided to take up watching The Twilight series as a way to de-stress and let me tell you it does the trick. I haven't (ironically) laughed obnoxiously hard at a movie in a long time, and I've quite enjoyed watching them-for every reason they weren't made for. Although, I can't ignore the fact that Edward and Bella's relationship is EXTREMELY TOXIC! And the fact that people have been idealizing it for 10 years is downright atrocious. Now I'm here to unpack every little thing right now!

1. Edward terrifies Bella.

As he should. He's a vampire.

2. Edward is controls what she does, who she sees, and where she goes.

We get that you're trying to protect her but like CHILL!

3. Edward makes all of the decisions.

Giphy

Bella has a mind too! If your relationship was 2 sided, shit would've been better.

4. They both threaten to commit suicide MORE THAN ONCE

No one is worth that guys. And that guilt and blame is so toxic.

5. CONSISTENTLY THREATENING TO KILL HER

I get that he's a vampire and she has pure blood or whatever, but keep it to yourself or just walk away!

6. Pushing, biting, kicking, etc...

Giphy

THESE THINGS ARE NOT OKAY!

7. He forced Bella to leave her home MULTIPLE TIMES

Giphy

Let the girl live her life! And poor Charlie!

8. Edward is constantly accusing her of cheating.

We all know that Jacob is literally hot, but you have to trust your woman!

9. SHE TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE IN ORDER TO BE WITH HIM

Okay Edward, the whole time you're like "No! I don't want this life for you!" But you are recklessly in love with her enough to let it happen anyways! And Bella, where is your independence!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
