This is another discussion that's going on in a heated debate over on another forum I'm on: does anyone else here believe that if Edward hadn't come back, if Rosalie hadn't interfered, do you guys honestly believe that Bella would have moved on with Jacob? Cause as much as I love Jacob, I can't see Bella ever really getting over Edward enough to find another relationship, even though she admitted that she couldn't survive without Jacob.
Care to discuss?

No, because Bella never really loved Jacob. She kept a border between them. I think Jacob would never had been more then a close friend.

That's pretty much what I thought as well, but I've seen the topic discussed in other places and most of the answers weren't as straight foward. It's sort of interesting when you think about it; just how much would Bella come to rely on Jacob in the end...? I'm actually just fishing for a debate here. I love debated.

i TOTALLY agree, i mean, he was truly her support system, i think that it was unfair the way that she pushed him off to the side for edward. i know that this may seem silly, but i kinda want to know what it would be like IF bella and jacob went out.i mean, bella admitted that edward would always have a huge amount of her heart, but i feel that over time more and more of her heart would be turned to jacob, i mean over x many of months he became her true and real person to rely on and depend on. she ALWAYS turned to him. so imagine if it was lik 20 years later, do you think bella would have let edward pull her away from jacob like he did at the end, or do you think she would have gone to jacob instaed, OR do you think she would have left BOTH of them???

Then you have to draw the line somewhere, though. She talks about how she loves Jacob, in so many different ways, but it's nothing but an echo of what her heart was capable of...of what she felt for Edward. She talks about not having the enrgy to deny Jacob anything that makes him happy, and I just seem to get the feeling that they probably would get together, but I wonder how long it would last. Not very long, in my opinion. Not once Jacob realized what was really going on...but then maybe he would be okay with Bella not loving him as much as he loves her. He doesn't seem to, as long as he has her all to himself. It's hard to say. Bella sounds like she would only do it to make Jacob happy, not because she really loves him. She loves him as a friend (how could you not, really?) but you can see that's all. In so many ways, getting into a relationship like that would be even worse than Bella keeping Jacob at arms length as just a friend. Reading New Moon again, I can see that the general consensous with Bella was "Dammit, Jacob. I wish I didn't like you so much because it makes everything complicated."

I think that she would've moved on with Jacob. I remember that it said somewhere that she knew Edward was never going to come back and she was thinking of how she loved Jacob and how he made her feel safe. And when she was thinking that, she heard Edward's voice saying Be Happy. Bella would listen to whatever Edward wants her to do, so I think that she would try to make the best out of life.

Yes, I agree. I think Bella would have moved on with Jacob. Eventually...

i think that no matter what happens jake will only be a friend in bella's eyes bcoz what bella feels for edward is that of like a soulm8 so i don't thik she'll ever get over him though she may try to fool herself that she's moved on her heart will still belong to edward.. bsides i don't think that she get over him for the reason that she hasn't had the closure one would ask of when a relationship turns sour.. (hmm.. am i making any sense?)

I believe that Bella might have tried to be with Jacob. After a year or so of telling herself to let go of Edward. She might go on a date. Might kiss once. But she would feel terrible inside. She would know that it wasn't right. It wouldn't work out. Don't get me wrong, I definitely want Jacob to be happy. It makes me sad that he can't have Bella. But he really can't...Edward is Bella's soul mate. They belong together. And Edward would die without her. Maybe not physically [if she lived] but emotionally. I don't want to see Edward suffer. It's a really hard choice. I feel bad for Bella.

Yeah, I think Bella would have been with Jacob if Edward hadn't come back. She wouldn't actually love him, because she'd never ever get over Edward. But she'd do it anyway, because she'd want Jacob to be happy. Even if she couldn't be happy.

I don't think Bella could have brought herself to be with Jacob. She wouldn't want to be someone who could only give piece of her heart to Jacob because she likes him so much. She would know that she couldn't give enough of herself to Jacob and she would have felt too guilty about being with him. She would have known that Jake deserves all of someones heart.

Is Bella's mind like a sieve. Would time heal her enough so that she could go on to try to live a life?
Eventually.
Bella would have moved on with Jacob, but he would always just be Paris, never Romeo. The best friend. The support system. Bella never could have loved Jacob the way she loved Edward. If, after 20 years, she and Jacob were still together and Edward came back, I believe that she would have been tempted to leave Jacob for Edward, because she would have realized that what she had with Jacob was nothing more than a mediocre recreation of what she had with Edward. An echo. Once she saw Edward again, she would realize how much she still loved him, but guilt would be a huge factor in her decision. True love or horrific guilt for the rest of her life?
cgisford5, you have such a great point. Bella wouldn't want to be damaged goods for Jacob. She would want him to have somebody whole, but in the end, he would have convinced her that her broken heart was what he wanted more than anybody still intact...still whole. Bella would have believed him eventually.
