But they have nothing in common.
Anakin/Padme are the basically Darth Vader backstory, why he became bad and who he was. It makes a villain more layered and is interesting for this reason. They are terribly tragic as characters and they didn't get a happy end.

I don't ship Edward/Bella, but I don't get your point.
Yes, their relationship is romanticized because the whole thing is a fantasy of an adult woman who likes vampires.
Edward is not evil but he's a vampire who fights with his instict to kill humans for their blood because his love for her is stronger, and because his adopted family is 'good' and made a choice to be 'vegetarian vampires' and not kill humans. He knows he's dangerous, if you read the books his autocritic can be exasperating.
You can criticize the mediocrity of SMeyer writing, but we are talking about vampires! Even if the guy is not bad, he's still a vampire and that, alone, is not a recipe for a healthy relationship if his partner is human and mortal.
The fact that their relationship is not healthy is called out in the books, actually (the movies are shit) by Jacob, who, ironically, ends up being a big hypocrite because he is a werewolf and he is far more abusive with Bella than Edward.
Edward knows he's a vampire, he knows Bella is not safe if she's part of his world. He breaks up with her for this reason and he doesn't want to turn her into a vampire.
Jacob, instead, starts as the human boy who represents normality and Bella's savior who keeps saying that he'd give Bella a better life and a healthy relationship..but it's not true because he is himself a supernatural being who could hurt her (like another werewolf did with his partner) and possibly leave her behind one day when he will meet his imprinting girl/soulmate (he doesn't know at the time that his soulmate will be Bella's future daughter, he only knows that he didn't imprint on Bella so he could leave her anytime to follow 'the one' if he met that girl)
Ultimately, the abusive relationship that fits with your description is Jacob/Bella because Jacob is presented as the healthier alternative to her but ultimately, he's not.
