I just think he is less controlling. I mean come on, Edward, wanted Bella to choose, he didn't say, you have to be with me. Jacob said that she should be with him cause he loved her and that he wasn't a vampire. Jacob just couldn't be happy for her. I think I would have liked Jacob better if he didn't like Bella as much as he did. If he were a true friend, he would have just let them be, let her be happy.
