Yes that did bother me, she was basically making her mom's failed marriage to Charlie out to have branded hers which I did find annoying and so did my best friend. The same way Edward didn't have enough faith in himself to believe in his control when she first wanted to have sex, she didn't have enough faith to believe that her destiny was different than Renee's. Which contradicts herself completely. She broke down and had an anxiety attack when Edward left her, is unable to live without him and broke her best friend's heart to give all of hers to him.
She claims in the first book "I dream about being with you forever", is not afraid of giving up her life literally to become a vampire for him,and yet was afraid to marry him? It makes no sense to me at all that she loved him enough to do anything for him including die except what made the most sense.
While it may be true that divorce is more common in today's world than successful marriages, and is a large commitment, Bella has already made and even larger commitment planning to become a vampire.
