To be fair, the unhealthy relationship and the bad writing are one and the same. SMeyer thought she was writing about the deepest and truest love evar111!!! and about how Edward and Bella were the perfect couple and Bella was destined to be a vampire and have house-breaking statue sex with Edward foreverz... but as we all know, Edward and Bella are terrible for each other. She thought she was writing Edward as a tortured but otherwise perfect dream man, but she ended up with an abuser/unrepentant serial murderer. She thought she was writing Bella as a perfectly selfless, modest, and brainy beauty, but she ended up writing a shallow airhead whose sole vapid thoughts are about how Edward is so hot and rich and everyone sucks except the Cullens and herself. SMeyer has a maaaaajor show vs tell problem, and it ended up making the unhealthy relationship look even worse, because the author and all the characters were in complete denial about it.

In the hands of a different author, Edward/Bella could have been a flawed but ultimately loving couple whose love was so deep and true because of all the issues they had to work through to get there. Instead we got tens of thousands of words of purple prose about Edward's alabaster brow and inexplicably sweet breath and Bella's translucent ivory ~cream and roses~ complexion and naturally freesia-scented skin, and not an ounce of awareness of how catastrophically terrible their relationship is.
