abusive boyfriends? did I miss that part?
I absolutely despise the fact that the author refuses to allow any permanent dissapointment in the series. The lack of action was disturbing considering the potential the author had with her created world.
Much of Edward's behavior has been criticized for being overly controlling to the point of borderline abuse; see http://www.wired.com/underwire/2009/11/twilight-lessons-girls-learn/
It personally weirds me out that he watches her sleep, but I guess some people apparently consider that romantic. Honestly, I found the book to be boring more than anything. She had some good ideas buried under it all, but the writing style was fanfiction-esque levels of glurge.
