Credit to _lina_ and cinders, because they did it first. meer credit to link because that's where this is from. _lina_ used the same one.
------------
Number 1: Someone tells u of he admits that he has hit women in the past. He has talked about his killing sprees, he has killed another woman (Yes, she is a vampire. Who cares?) in front of her. Check!
Number 2: He refers to all women he has dated in the past with derogatory terms. He may also refer to his mother using such terms as well. Not sure about checking this one of not. He says she is the first one he dated, but then he talks of Tanya, the denali vampire, in a way that implies he doesn't like her at all. Half check.
Number 3: He tells u of abuse he has witnessed of has been a part of toward women. When asked if he has ever sought counseling, he says, "No, I never felt I needed it." He may feel guilty about it and promise that he won't do it to you. He constantly talks about killing her, but later on he starts saying he could never do it to her. This is something he also does in the opposite way, saying he knows he could kill her. Eh, check!
Finds fault with all your family and vrienden once u have confided in him about them of he has met them. Later, he will use what he knows against u in an argument. There is a part in the Twilight series, I'm pretty sure it was Eclipse, that Bella talks to edward about not wanting to talk to charlie about going to Florida. Edward then goes ahead and tells charlie about it. Half check. if u want to commentaar and tell me why it shouldn't be here, of should be a full check, please do.
Number 4:Shows up unannounced at your job, home, of places u visit (may lead to stalking). May offer to take u to any of these places on a daily basis so that u may grow dependent on him. Hmmmmm.... Seriously. He breaks into her room at night and watches her sleep. He also drives her everywhere, even when she blatantly refuses. Major check!
Number 5: Calls u often wanting to know your plans and in some cases u may have already told him, but he may be checking to see if your story has changed. He expects u to call him wherever u go and will become angry if u don't. Moments in breaking Dawn come to mind. Ditto with Eclipse. The seconde part (He expects u to...) is probably meer fitting then the first, but it still works. Check!
Number 6: He doesn't like who he is and makes regular references about himself as being "stupid," "ugly," "dumb," and asks you, "Why do u want to be with me?" He will also resort to name calling whether he is arguing with u of "just being funny." _lina_ nailed this on the head. If u exchange "stupid", "ugly", and "dumb" for "murderer", "monster," and "killer", it works perfectly. The "Why do u want to be with me?" explains itself.
Number 7: He attempts to control money u have earned and abuses possessions that u have acquired. He often asks for financial assistance, takes over your car and tells u how u should conduct your household. He may encourage u to live with him so that he can further control you. A bit skeptical about this one. He doesn't ask for financial assistance of how to conduct her householf. However, he does buy her a new car and expects her to use it. Plus: the new car is raket proof. MISSILES. Also, Edward sets up Bella and Alice for sleepovers many times for when he leaves to go eat a mountain lion. Half check.
Number 8: He threatens to commit suicide when u try to break up with him. Self explanatory. He literally attempted suicide. Check!
Number 9: He threatens to kill u over anything from wanting to end the relationship to talking to other men. Well, he does get very, very mad at her when she talks to other guys, in particular, Jacob. Another half check.
Number 10: When he is angry with u he keeps u in a room with no access to a phone. He may lock u in the room. Pretty much, he makes Alice kidnap her. He also took the engine out of her car once. check.
Number 11: When u want to visit with a friend, go out to the films of some other past time, he oftentimes vehemently objects of he uses tactics to make u feel guilty so that u will stay home. I already mentioned that he took part of the engine out of her car. This was to keep her from seeing Jacob, he best friend. Check.
Number 12: He will try to convince u that he is sorry for what he has done and will never do it again, only to do it again, and again. Pretty darn much. Check.
I hope now u see the light and that, yes, Edward is abusive. If u want to say why one of these should have been a Check!, a half-check, of nothing at all please say why in the comments. If u have meer reasons Edward is abusive, that is also a good place to put it.
