I think you might be confusing Robert with the character of Edward. You seem to dislike Edward and have included Robert in with your opinion. Edward does seem arrogant, selfish, domineering and obssessed. But if you were immortal and used to getting your way, you'd be like him too. The majority Twilight vampires seem to be this way. They live outside the realm of human law and are used to getting their way. Is Edward obsessed. Yes I think he is. Just the fact that he constantly spies on Bella is proof enough. Going by the author, Vampires are fozen in a state of time when they go from human to inhuman. Change is something very difficult for a vampire. Before Edward was changed, his main goal was to get into the military. He'd had no serious prior relationships either. It was difficult for Edward to accept Bella when they first met. Over a period of time, Edward reallizes he's in love with her. This is a HUGE deal because something changed in Edward and he was able to love sombody. I'd almost compare Vampire Mates with the theory of imprinting. Once a vampire has chosen a mate, it's for good. And vampires ARE obsessed with thier mate. Aro keeps his mate locked away in a tower with guards to ensure that his mate stays safe. So, Edward (and any other vampire) is extremely obsessed with his mate. And I'm sure that being unbable to read her mind, and lusting for her blood did play a part in all this. Did he want Bella to be a vampire? This is one of the biggest inconsistancies in the series so I really do't know. I do know that in one of the books, Edward wants to be human again and would do anything to be human so that he could give Bella a normal human life.
