Twilight is a worldwide phenomenon. The books and movies are extremely popular. And yet, like everything, they have their flaws. Some things simply don't make sense when it comes to the characters and their relationships. One such relationship that doesn't always make sense is the relationship between Alice and Jasper. Though fans love both the characters and the relationship, there are still some things that puzzle them. For example, why do Alice and Jasper share a room if only Alice decorates and uses it? Why don't they pretend to be the same age and graduate together in the books? How are they attracted to each other even though they're extremely different?  These are the questions that haunt many fans.

Alice and Jasper most likely aren't written with so many inconsistencies on purpose. Yet it's still worth it to question them and try to figure out why they might exist. One possible explanation is that since Alice and Jasper are secondary characters, Stephenie Meyer and the writers of the movies did not pay as much attention to Alice and Jasper and their relationship. as they would with, say, Edward and Bella. Another possible explanation is that Alice and Jasper, as characters sometimes do, took on a life of their own. This is easy to believe with Alice since she has such a strong personality, though with Jasper it's slightly less believable. Luckily, for the fans, we are here to attempt to explain the inconsistencies and offer possible explanations for them.

Here are 25 Things That Make No Sense About Alice and Jasper's Relationship. 

Alice And Jasper Share A Room, But Only Alice Uses It

According to Stephenie Meyer herself, Alice and Jasper do indeed share a room. However, according to the author, Alice is the only one who has decorated the room. Jasper apparently has a study that he has decorated to his liking, while Alice decorates their room. Alice has a strong personality, so in a way this makes sense. Yet it also doesn't. You'd think Jasper would want to decorate at least part of the room. He's bound to spend some time in there, after all. One possible explanation is the one given by Stephenie Meyer herself. Since as vampires, Alice and Jasper don't sleep, the room situation is kind of complicated.

They're Not Complete Without Each Other

This is kind of cute, but also weird. Not only are they not complete without each other, but they never were, according to Stephenie Meyer.  Alice and Jasper were both incomplete and waiting for their other half to complete them. This is strange, to say the least. Though many people in relationships talk about their other half, most people don't view themselves as incomplete people, just waiting to be completed. The fact that Alice and Jasper would be that way, therefore, doesn't make sense to many fans. One possible explanation for this strange proclamation is that Stephenie Meyer sees Alice and Jasper as a couple that is meant to be.

They Only Got Married Once

You would think that Alice would have fun planning multiple weddings. And given her strong personality, that Jasper would eventually give in. Yet apparently not. The couple, unlike their siblings Rosalie and Emmett, have only gotten married once. According to Stephenie Meyer, this shows that Alice and Jasper have the deeper relationship. Yet that doesn't make sense. If anything, renewing your vows over time would strengthen a relationship, not weaken it. So we're going to have to disagree with Stephenie Meyer on this one. One possible explanation, besides Stephenie Meyer's own, for this is that Alice prefers planning parties for others rather than for herself. Also, perhaps Jasper, who is a bit shy, doesn't like the spotlight that a wedding would put on both of them.

Alice Is Jasper's Entire Life

Again, this is cute but weird. Of course your significant other would me a big part of your life. But not your entire life. Everyone needs other people and things in their life. Unless Jasper's an exception to that rule but we don't think so. Of course he loves Alice. That needs no explanation. But that he loves her so much that she's his entire life? That's a bit questionable. Many fans are likely wondering why. One possible explanation for why Jasper and Alice were written this way is that, as is mentioned before, Stephenie Meyer views them as a couple that is meant to be.

They Disagreed On Bella At First

Although they are a couple, they don't always agree. When Alice and Jasper first met Bella, they had completely different opinions of her. Alice was excited for Bella to the family and for Edward to finally find his perfect match. Jasper, on the other hand, saw Bella as a threat that needed to be eliminated. Why such different opinions? For such a well-matched couple, you'd think they'd agree on everything. Including Bella. In fact, Jasper's early opinion on Bella is most likely surprising to many fans. One possible explanation for this difference of opinion is that Jasper was taught to eliminate threats. So perhaps he sees them everywhere, even when they're not there.

They Don't Pretend To Be The Same Age

That's right. Jasper pretends to be older than Alice. He even graduates before her in the books. But why? Wouldn't it make sense for them to pretend to be the same age? Especially since they are actually a couple. That way there'd be no obvious age difference for human outsiders to pick on. Although perhaps for a vampire, age differences aren't a big deal. One possible explanation for this is that the Cullens tend to just go with whatever works. Jasper and Rosalie pretending to be biological siblings works, so they go with it. Since Rosalie pretends to be older than Alice, Jasper would need to as well.

Alice Gave Jasper Hope From The Beginning

It's sweet, it really is. But how? How does this work? How can Jasper trust Alice so easily given his past? These are questions that likely haunt many fans. One possible explanation for this is that when writing the books and the movies, the writers of each respectively did not think that much about Alice and Jasper's relationship. The story is about Edward and Bella, after all. Alice and Jasper are secondary characters. For plot reasons, Jasper needs to trust Alice and so he does. Another possible explanation is that Alice gives Jasper hope and so he throws caution to the wind. Although that doesn't make much sense either. More on that later.

Alice Waited So Long For Jasper

This is also kind of sweet, but strange. Why didn't Alice go find Jasper earlier? Was she not ready to meet him? Did she not have enough visions of him in order to find him? One possible explanation for this is that Alice wanted to prepare for their new life before meeting Jasper. She wanted to be the perfect vampire to Carlisle's family. Another possible explanation is that Alice sensed that Jasper himself wasn't ready to meet her yet. Whatever the case may be, Jasper certainly made Alice wait.

Jasper Is Overprotective Of Alice

It would be kind of sweet if it wasn't so strange. In cases where one person can't take care of himself or herself, it makes sense to be a bit overprotective. But in cases where both people are perfectly capable, it doesn't really. One possible explanation for this is that Stephenie Meyer believes that being overprotective is an attractive trait in a man. It shows how much he cares about his significant other. Yet it still doesn't make much sense. Jasper knows that Alice can take care of herself in any situation and his actions should show that.

Alice Takes The Lead In Their Relationship

This is pretty cool, don't get us wrong. Yet it doesn't make much sense. Given Jasper's past as a leader, you'd think they'd be more balanced in that regard. Instead, Alice is in control of the relationship all the time. One possible explanation for this is that Stephenie Meyer wanted to suggest that Jasper is the more reserved and less controlling one in the relationship. Or perhaps she wanted to turn gender roles on their head and show a woman in control of her destiny and a man simply accepting his.
