Well, Edward is abusive. He is also obsessive, a stalker, very controlling, sometimes mentally unstable, and not the ideal boyfriend for me and a lot of other girls. Everyone else in the series notices his creepy ways except Bella, but Bella's an idiot to begin with. Edward "protects" her because he loves her (the oldest abusive boyfriend explanation in the book), but he really just lusts for her blood. Shallow, huh? And this isn't even only on him; Bella just "loves" him because he's good-looking. If there was ever a guy like Edward in my life, I would call the police (stalking is illegal and for a good reason, you know) and file a restraining order against him. Edward also needs some serious therapy. He needs to just get it all out to somebody. In fact, it doesn't have to be somebody. A diary, a teddy bear, something. Jacob isn't perfect, but Edward is much farther from perfect than Jacob is. You may like guys like, but I certainly don't. Please, please, please don't date a guy like Edward. (By the way, you said that Bella was pretty upset over Jacob saying that he'd rather have her dead than one of the Cullens. Bella wasn't nearly as upset as when Edward dumped her. Another sign of abuse: isolation from friends and family so the abuser is the only thing the victim can depend on. Sound familiar?)
