------------
Number 1: Someone tells wewe au 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 au 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 wewe of abuse he has witnessed au 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 Marafiki once wewe have confided in him about them au he has met them. Later, he will use what he knows against wewe 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 wewe want to maoni and tell me why it shouldn't be here, au should be a full check, please do.
Number 4:Shows up unannounced at your job, home, au places wewe visit (may lead to stalking). May offer to take wewe to any of these places on a daily basis so that wewe 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 wewe often wanting to know your plans and in some cases wewe may have already told him, but he may be checking to see if your story has changed. He expects wewe to call him wherever wewe go and will become angry if wewe don't. Moments in breaking Dawn come to mind. Ditto with Eclipse. The sekunde part (He expects wewe to...) is probably zaidi 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 wewe want to be with me?" He will also resort to name calling whether he is arguing with wewe au "just being funny." _lina_ nailed this on the head. If wewe exchange "stupid", "ugly", and "dumb" for "murderer", "monster," and "killer", it works perfectly. The "Why do wewe want to be with me?" explains itself.
Number 7: He attempts to control money wewe have earned and abuses possessions that wewe have acquired. He often asks for financial assistance, takes over your car and tells wewe how wewe should conduct your household. He may encourage wewe to live with him so that he can further control you. A bit skeptical about this one. He doesn't ask for financial assistance au how to conduct her householf. However, he does buy her a new car and expects her to use it. Plus: the new car is kombora, yamuua 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 wewe try to break up with him. Self explanatory. He literally attempted suicide. Check!
Number 9: He threatens to kill wewe 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 wewe he keeps wewe in a room with no access to a phone. He may lock wewe in the room. Pretty much, he makes Alice kidnap her. He also took the engine out of her car once. check.
Number 11: When wewe want to visit with a friend, go out to the sinema au some other past time, he oftentimes vehemently objects au he uses tactics to make wewe feel guilty so that wewe 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 wewe 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 wewe see the light and that, yes, Edward is abusive. If wewe want to say why one of these should have been a Check!, a half-check, au nothing at all please say why in the comments. If wewe have zaidi reasons Edward is abusive, that is also a good place to put it.
