After rereading New Moon completely through (FINALLY.. you know, instead of skipping over the parts where Edward or Alice is absent), I've decided that I REALLY like Jacob.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not switching over to Team Jacob, but seriously - Jacob is an amazing friend despite the fact that he's in love with Bella. He loves her so much that he just wants her to be happy. He's there to pick up the pieces after Edward all but destroyed her by leaving.. and even though he knows that she doesn't love him like he loves her, he's still there for her unconditionally.
How awesome is that? Really? There's not too many people out there that would put aside their own happiness for someone else's despite how badly it hurts them in the process.
It's official..I love Jacob not just because he's a homewrecker, but because he's all around nice kid.

You could look at it like that..or..
You could look at it like Jacob stealing the opportunity of Bella's weakness to swoop in there, pick up the pieces, all the while building himself into those pieces trying to get his chance.
I really dislike Jacob. Lol.

Get out of the darkplace Rachel! Give my homewrecker SOME credit!
Bella went to him first. What normal person wouldn't swoop in some what during that time?

Yeah, but she also went to Jessica. And keep in mind, the ONLY reason she went to him was to get some labor from him, nothing else. It wasn't like she handed her pieces of her shattered self into his hands and said "Here, build me back up and throw in a few homewreckin' injun pieces of yourself, too." She just threw a broken down motorcycle at him.
He swooped at the wrong time. If he really wanted to be a good, amazing friend he wouldn't try to use her weakness as an opportunity to get at it and fuck the shit out of the comforter.

lol @ Comforter Fucking.
You're just prejudiced against us homewreckers!
It wasn't completely Jacob. Bella did kinda hand over the broken pieces of herself along with the bikes. She was the one running to La Push every chance she got. She said herself that it wasn't as painful there, it was vaguely familiar but so far in the distance and not the immediate past that she was trying to avoid. She liked being around Jacob too because he had such an amazing presence, and she could smile & laugh around him without it feeling forced.
I think Jacob, being young & already having a crush on Bella, was just lead astray by Bella's actions. I kinda feel sorry for him, in fact. I won't say that Bella used him, per se.. but he definitely acted as a crutch for her during Edward's absence. She replaced one addiction (Edward) for another (Jacob.) Then dropped him like a bad habit once Alice & Edward came back in the picture to begin with, leaving him standing there scratching his head.
He loves Bella, or did, anyways, before Renesmee came along. You can't fault him for that. He couldn't help that he had the power of Edward to compete with. If it wasn't for Edward being the Greek Sex God that he is, I think Jacob would have been a good alternative for Bella. He was there for her during the roughest part of her life, and continued to stick by her even after Edward came back once he got his feelings for the situation worked out. Not too many people could do that.

See I'm with you. I like Jacob. I think he's a good friend. I can't remember which book it is, but someone says that if Edward would have died way back when, Jacob and Bella would have been perfect together. Which I totally agree!!! They would have been good together, but Edward didn't die.....sooooo Bella and Edward are together instead. Orrrrr like someone said on BG....Jacob can have Bella and I'll take Edward Rofl

That kiss in Eclipse was annoying to read because it came after one of my favorite scenes ever [Edward and Jacob in the freezing tent with Bella] and after loving Edward as much as we do we had to read that Bella was going to muddle up the waters by being all confused now for her feelings for Jacob and continue to cry over him for like 5 more chapters. But it was bold on Jacob's part. He was tired of feeling everything by himself and not having Bella in on it, BUT it was shady moves. Guilt trip extraordinaire.

After reading that, Nina, I wonder if my issue is really an annoyance with Bella...

No. I still hate Jacob, but I'm starting to see my annoyance for Bella really rising to the surface.
