Regina watches her own mother murder the man she loves right in front of her and that's not a strong enough heartbreak, but Henry getting politely rejected by a kiddy crush he's talked to like twice is way more powerful? Give me a break. Even if Regina does have a new partner, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say her devestation and trauma still majorly trumps Henry's friendzoning. I get what you are saying but I do believe Emma when she said she is actually over the real pain that came with the loss (in this case murder) of a loved one. I mean she has actually grieved through her loss with the whole original DC. It turned out her plan for vengence would leave a hole but it has been filled not only by Henry and Robin but by Emma and Snow and Charming and other people. Her her love for these people have changed her loss to a painful memory but not as strong. I mean we did see her tear almost work so it is clear the memory is still hard on her.

Henry's tear came from more then just being polietly turned down, it came from him feeling Violet could love him for being just him. He has also heard stories about how love hits you without words from both his grandparents and even Emma and Hook so he prop felt more love then he spoke out loud. Although I have to say the tear he shred after finding out Emma betrayed him must of been stronger but there you go lol. I personally still find it utterly ridiculous to compare Henry's little crush of 5 minutes to the heartbreak of Regina witnessing her fiance getting his heart crushed in front of her eyes which lead to her murdering hundreds and casting the dark curse.

This is why I hated them introducing another romance couple when we don't even know if poor Henry even have friends. His mother this turned into the Dark One, she hasn't done drasticially evil, but this is the appropriate time to bring in Henry having a little crush????? We already have teenage relationships on the show, no need to include another one lol. But I get what the writers tried to do, with the "fresh" heartbreak, I think it was executed horribly when you are destroying the basic premise of your show of how Regina was so utterly in despair and hurt, she was manipulated to cast the "Curse that Ends all Curses," and now everything is cool because of pixie dust and being in a 2 week relationship? Yeah again I see where you are comming from but as I said before it is not just because of her relationship with Robin that has given Regina closure. The whole casting the dark curse was a direct effect of her loss from Daniel, her path from then on does not just effect her but effects everyone she cast the curse on especially Snow White and Prince Charming. She became their friends and you could say their relationship is deeper then friendship, its a loving relationship, both will sacrifice their lives for the other. Same with Emma. They all have developed a much stronger relationship that they can even argue and even threaten each other but deep down they still have a level of love and respect. She is over her loss. The love she has now is greater then the felling of loss she feels about Daniel. I think that is a very natural response to dealing with death and loss, you concentrating more and more on the positives that ome around.

Plus in regards Regina and Robin, 2 weeks don't sound a lot but who knows what they have done and talked about during that time. Their relationship could be much stronger then we see on screen. People can think this relationship is nothing because we have seen other couples and we know more about their relationships because we have seen them togther on screen, I mean we know about Snow and Charmings romance because we have seen it develop a lot more then Robin and Charming. But if we actually look closer, we can see that it was only a few days and fleeting moments that built up their love. For example it was Snows appearance when she wore Ruth's ring did charming fell in love. Snow fell in love beause he rescued her. For all we know Robin and Regina could have had many a date night when they have talked bout their pasts, their presents and what future they both want. They could have had many laughfilled nights and they could have had many arguements and make up dates.

I do agree Henry's relationship was a softer other option and perhaps they could have choosen a better one but we have to make do with what the writers say. I still think it would work (which it did) but again maybe there was more to their relationship that we see on screen.
