Personal life

Charlie married Bella’s mother, Renée, just after they both graduated high school. She later had Bella, but divorced Charlie soon after. She couldn’t stand the cold, dreary and wet life of living in Forks. Even after she moved to Phoenix, Charlie was still in love with her, but had gotten past the fact that she didn’t love him. He became accustomed to living alone, except when Bella started to visit him in the summer. When Bella was seventeen, she moved to Forks to live with him.

Charlie is unaware of the true nature of the Cullen family. Initially, Charlie was accepting of Edward, but after the events of New Moon he blames Edward for the deep depression that Bella went into after he left her, and holds a grudge against him as a result. Charlie is grateful to Jacob because he was a great friend to Bella during that difficult time, and has made it clear that he’d rather Bella choose Jacob over Edward.

At the end of Eclipse, Bella and Edward agree to tell Charlie about their engagement. He reluctantly agrees to the marriage.
