Question: How can Bella be in love with both Edward and Jacob at the same time!?
Okay let me tell you I'm now at chapter 25 of 'Eclipse' so please NO SPOILERS !
I was just wondering how can Bella love Jacob more than as a friend when she keeps saying Edward is her life!? I mean I knew she cared about Jacob a lot, but I was surprised when she started having these strong feelings for him after they kissed!.
Is that even possible!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

haha, the answer above me is a little cynical >_<

okay, i'll try to explain in bella's perspective, not my own!.

yes, edward is truly her life!. if he were to die, she'd love him SO much that she probably wouldn't kill herself, but might just be crazy enough to live THROUGH the pain because that's what he'd have wanted!. this whole masochistic idea was clearly supported by her in New Moon!.

that's the part you probably already know!.

Jacob, to Bella, is like!.!.!.that best friend who's always been your best friend!. you've never looked at it any other way, because why should you!? you have a perfect man, literally!. just beautiful in every inhuman way possible!. but when suddenly, you're forced into seeing that he's always been just as perfect, but flawed, you find out that you might just love him, too!.

and she does!.
so there's this love that is perfect(edward) and this love that is so flawed, its perfect (jacob)!.

it's possible to love two people!. again, the BIG difference for bella is who does she love MORE!. which is!.!.!.edward!.

poor jacob!.

P!.S!. i'd compare it to how most people find someone he/she truly loves, as opposed to finding their 'soul mate', if you believe in that!. for bella, she just happened to find her soulmate before she found someone she simply loved!. it's like she imprinted!. it's as if Jacob is Leah and Bella is Sam Uley, and Edward is Emily!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Answers to come in Breaking Dawn!. Yes it's confusing because you think Bella loves Jacob like a brother and is completely in love with Edward!. And yes you can love your family and your boyfriend at the same time, but Bella isn't kissing Charlie either ok!. What she feels for Jacob is different for reasons you don't and can't yet understand!. So yes it's odd but like you said, Edward is her life and she's never going to get over something that strong so no worries and keep reading so you can find out what happens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, yes it is!. you can love ur whole family right!? same difference!. she loves jacob but her soul mate is edward!. she just cant break it off with jacob because even though she would always pick edward, she still really cares about jacob!. i know, i thought it was selfish too but shes human =D what can ya do!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

she's confused!.!.!.edward left her!.!.she was trying to move on!.!.!.it was so hard for her!.!.and then jacob came into the picture and she slowly started to feel like the old bella!.!.!.hey, if i was her i'd be confused too!.!.!.i'm going through the same thing!.!.!.!.just not as complicatedWww@QuestionHome@Com

yes, because i assume shes lonely, and human, and whiney as usual, who cant stay faithful to a guy who is willing to spend the rest of eternity to devote his life to her!. because she is human!.

did i mention she whines a lot!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Breaking Dawn answers your question well!. But, you love your family and your Bf/crush, right!? You can love more than one person!. Bella's not realizing that she loves Jacob as a sibling!. Vice versa!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
