I’m new to the Twilight franchise and it frustrates me. I think it’s because I relate so much to Jacob’s character. At least his plight. I have been friend-zoned more times than I can count. From leading me on for months, saying she can’t be in a relationship right now, and sleeping with someone else to getting close to me to get to my best friend. So I can feel the frustration and disappointment. But what I don’t get is why doesn’t he have a backbone?

Like why stick around? She doesn’t love you or want you. Maintain your dignity and leave. His character should have stopped existing the moment Edward returned. Just take the L like a man and move on. I would rather him suffer in silence than make a fool of himself fighting a losing battle.

Then, in my opinion, him imprinting on their daughter seems like the biggest middle finger possible. He’s desperate to get her to love him while she just wants Edward, he has to watch them get married, sit at home alone while they consummate, and now he falls for the kid?? Like wtf!! It’s kinda embarrassing.

Maybe the issue is that I’m just now getting to know the series. I didn’t read/watch when everyone else was. So maybe I’m just old and bitter 😂
