She wasn't like that.

In season 1, she was locked away, we only saw her in flashbacks, and she was fine. She stood up to him.

In season 2A, it was the only time we saw Rumple and Bell in a decent relationship. They cared for each other and he wasn't hiding anything from her.

Season 2B, she was Lacy.

Season 3A, he was in Neverland.

Season 3B, he was a prisoner.

And then you know the rest. So they never really had development in their relationship besides season 2, and Belle is just a battered wife. If I were her, I would let him be the dark one and ruin everybody's life because nobody cares about her, or I would kill myself because no one can be that pathetic.

The thing is that they don't write for the characters. They want to write the plot and make the charactets fit that certain plot, so that's why most of them are OOC or seem really stupid like Belle, Snow and Charming. And now they are doing it to Regina. That's just not right. Nobody messes with Regina!
