Bella isn't really trying to free herself of Edwards memory… I think she is just trying to hold onto it… her hallucinations seem to be less painful for her… somehow… she needs to never forget him… she's running to anything she can cling to… Jake is good to her and he is a good friend… but, he will always be second… I feel sorry for him… but I'm all for Bella and Edward together.

I don't really think Bella is taking advantage of Jacob. She needs someone she can lean on at the moment to help her get through, a friend. And Jacob just happens to be that person. I would say it she was taking advantage of him if she was just going to run off after she can get over Edward, if she can, or is at least healed enough. But, at this point, I can't see that happening because they both enjoy each other's company. They are friends and friends lean on each other when they need to. Jacob is leaning on Bella, too, because of the whole Sam situation. So I do not see them as using each other. Jacob may be using Edward's absence to try to change the relationship he has with Bella from friendship to something more, but he's not taking advantage of Bella herself.

I think Bella is taking advantage of Jacob in some ways. But not anymore than any of us do. When we are hurting don’t we want our friends and mommy’s to be there with us to make it better. Bella really loves and cares for Jacob and while she “use” him as a band-aid on her heart, she also holds up her end of the friendship. I love their relationship!

I think it’s interesting that you see Bella’s attempts to the house and the meadow as ways of getting over Edward. I thought that she was doing anything she desperately could to hold onto him. Interesting how different minds think.

Neither of them are taking advantage of each other at this point.. but what Jacob never understood was that he didn’t KNOW the whole Bella.. he only saw the side of her clinging to adventure to hear Edward’s voice… he was a bit misguided and she was NOT helping

Bella Trys and trys to make jacob understand that she can’t give him anymore, because there isn’t anything left in her. And Jacob understands that so I don’t view Bella as taking advantage of him.
