Rumple made a choice that only effected Milah if she stayed with him, so she took control back, by leaving him. I don't blame Milah for leaving Rumple. If anything, I judged her for marrying him to begin with when she admitted she never loved him. And yes, Rumple's decision to never have another kid did kind of push her away. But only in the way that anyone would leave a partner who didn't want any kids (or in this case, any more).

What made Milah a bad person was abandoning Rumple and Baelfire for a life with Hook. Not wanting to be with Rumple is fine, but it wasn't just about her anymore and she had a son to care for. Even she admits in Underbrooke that that was a crappy move on her part. Running out on her responsibilities because she found someone else was selfish. Milah had already started to loathe Rumple before he made this deal, that started as soon as he injured himself to avoid the Ogre Wars. She would have left him regardless. She should have been happy her son was healthy again and going to live but instead she abandons him for no good reason. Just seems like Rumple can't win, he makes the right choice and his son gets abandoned by his mother, he makes a series of bad choices and he gets to repair his relationship with his son. No wonder Rumple is usuay making the bad choice, it is usually more rewarding for him and thoe he cares about than when he makes the right one.
