Rumple was not even willing to take care of Bae for one freaking night so Milah could have a break (again, I am NOT saying what she did was okay, but Rumple wasn't willing to do the childcare for one single night, because thats "woman's work") Can you stop lying for two seconds please? That's annoying. If you want to defend your pov, at least, use the facts from the show. He NEVER asked her to come back to the kitchen, like you pretend he did.

He said: "Please. You have responsibilities." with a weak voice. That's a fact. She completely abandoned Bae alone at home. That's not even a question of willing to take care of him or not for one night. She left him alone, a 7/8 years old child, while Rumple was absent & away. She left him.

When you want to take a "break", like you say, you DONT let your child alone, you tell your husband that you're leaving for the night, and you're leaving once he came back because you don't let your underage child alone at home. She could have waited for Rumple's return before leaving, but nooooooo, she did not.

Also, "for one freaking night"? That's pretty much established that Milah was going A LOT at this tavern to have fun with Hook and the rest of the people. So no, that's not a "one freaking night" thing.

And, I know you don't care cos you like to defend the domestic abuser, but Milah is the one who publicly humiliated Rumple, not the other around. Again, look at the dialogue, it is there.

No he did not say that, he said "you have responsibilities". Do you really want to split hairs? When a man says "oyu have responsibilities" it is pretty clear that is code for "a woman's place is in the home".

Yes I agree that what Milah did was wrong, but Rumple was still not willing to take care of their child for one night. Which was a much more responsible alternative to "bringing the small child to a dockside tavern and leaving him unsupervised where he could be easily abducted".

Milah was pushed to the point where leaving Bae alone was the only way she could get a break, something all parents are entitled to ​​​​​
