Edward wouldn't be considered an "eternity of emptienss" in the first place. If you love someone you wan't to be with them forever right? So Jacob would be worse. Why spend a lifetime with someone you don't love when you can spend an eternity with someone you do love?
bella should sooooo leave edward if she realy has a brain girl go with jacob he doesn't need 2 be ditched like that im not a twilight or new moon fan but i so would go wit jacob <3
Bella loved and choose Edward....how would that be an eternity of emptiness? And even though I like Jacob...what would have happened if Bella choose him...and even though he loved Bella he 'imprinted' on someone else like Sam did? It would kill Jacob because he had such a big heart...he would never have been able to live with himself for having to leave and hurt her that way.
