to really want a Twilight style romance?

[Amytheflag]

I know I am! I'm not a soppy teen fgs!

But I'm watching twilight and I want to be worshipped and adored and stalked by a sex god.

Argh I would even make do with a LITTLE romance!

Meh, you lot! Edward Cullen abusive or not, I still would !!!!

He does warn her that he wants to kill her, but he is a vampire, he wants to rip open her neck and drink her blood!

I wouldn't advocate someone like him as a suitable partner to my dds, but I'm not going to over think a vampire story either.

YABU.

You seriously want a relationship where he's abusive, non-committal and, above all, a GINORMOUS WANKER, whilst you are a one-dimensional, miserable bitch who never smiles and who falls to pieces at the tiniest things?!

Talk about co-dependency...

Heeeey now! I never said I wanted to bloody wet fish bella! I'd be me just with an Edward lol :D

To be whoops

I's shag him, but I'd also kick his arse into touch. The sparkly thing would have to go too...

You need to watch buffy, fuck twilight

how does he get it up he is undead can he erm manage you know

You need to watch buffy, fuck twilight

oh good god angel and spike

Team Jacob please yes mmmm mmm. Or Edward. I'm with you OP love a bit of vampire romance

I'd love seeing how he'd react to a real woman telling him precisely where to get off. I would genuinely die of laughter.

If I were Bella it'd be a whole new scene. Edward would turn up to find me, glorious in triumph atop a pile of baddies, smoking a cigarette.

"Where the fuck have you been? I didn't exactly NEED saving..."

Headfirst..yes, if i was discussing suitable life partners with my Dd then a vampire, werewolf or equivalent supernatural being probably wouldn't even make my long list! Anyone for Trueblood..now..mmm....eric or bill?

Jacob a rapist? Did I miss that bit?

Love angel, that's a real vampire

Must have missed the rapist thing too.

Also how is Edward non committal??

He proposes to her loads of times. It's bella who says no.

To those who suggested buffy, I lurve buffy. Have the box set and everything (nerd). I would gladly trade Edward for spike if that's any better? Angel is a right knob though.

Spike in his coat

Amy - Twilight is one of those weird subjects that seems to provoke a different reaction on Mumsnet to anywhere else in RL. Every middle aged woman I know has read Twilight on the sly and enjoyed it without over thinking it too much

It's his hair for me and those cheekbones!

Jacob the rapist? A touch of artistic license there? Maybe a different book to the one I read?

Why do none of these anti twilight, it's an abusive relationship people never mention Bella blackmailing Edward into sex either? She won't marry him unless he agrees to try and shag her while she's human. She pesters and pesters him to do it, until he finally, and reluctantly does so, just to try and make her happy? Even after, when they've done the deed, and he feels awful because she has some bruises she still harrasses him for more sex.
