In Twilight, u read Bella wanting Edward to change her. In New Moon, u read Bella endangering her life to hear Edward.
Read Chapter 22 from Eclipse. It clearly states that Edward is in no way forcing Bella to chose him.
"But she wasn't happy. And I would have stayed. That's toon she convinced me to stay with her tomorrow, of course. u were wondering about that before, what could possibly motivate me...what she was feeling so needlessly guilty about. She reminded me of what it did to her when I left — what it still does to her when I leave. She feels horrible about bringing that up, but she’s right. I’ll never be able to make up for that, but I’ll never stop trying anyway." (p. 449)
"Jacob, from the seconde that I realized that I loved her, I knew there were only four possibilities. The first alternative, the best one for Bella, would be if she didn't feel as strongly for me- if she got over me and moved on. I would accept that, though it would never change the way I felt. u think of me as a living stone- hard and cold. That's true. We are set the way we are, and it is very rare for us to experience a real change. When that happens, as when Bella entered my life, it is a permanent change. There's no going back." (p. 500)
"The seconde alternative, the one I'd originally chosen, was to stay with her through her human life. It wasn't a good option for her, to waster her life with someone who couldn't be human with her, but it was the alternative I could most easily face. Knowing all along that, when she died, I would find a way to die, too. Sixty years, seventy years- it would seem like a very, very short time to me...But then it proved much too dangerous for her to live in such close proximity with my world. It seemed like everything that could go wrong did. of hung over us...waiting to go wrong. I was terrified that I wouldn't get those sixty years if I stayed near her while she was human." (p. 500-501)
"So I chose option three. Which turned out to be the worst mistake of my very long life, as u know. I chose to take myself out of her world, hoping to force her into the first alternative. It didn't work, and it very nearly killed us both." (p. 501)
"What do I have but the fourth option? It's what she wants- at least she thinks she does. I've been trying to delay her, to give her time to find a reason to change her mind, but she's very stubborn. u know that. I'll be lucky to stretch this out a few meer months." (p. 501)
"As long as she wants me, I’m here." (p. 502)
"What would u do if she changed her mind?" Jacob asked.
"I don't know that either."
Jacob chuckled quietly. "Would u try to kill me?"
"No."
"Why not?" Jacob's tone was still jeering.
"Do u really think I would hurt her that way?" (p. 498)
"And if she were to decide that she wanted me?" Jacob challenged. "Okay, it's a long shot, I'll give u that."
"I would let her go." (p. 502)
