The thing that irritates me about Belle is that she tells Baelfire that "I love your father, even the dark parts," and then so easily turns on Rumple when he makes a bad choice, rather than helping him through it and listening. With the way he lied to her and almost killed the whole town, Rumple did deserve to be kicked out, yes. He needs to work on being more honest with Belle, but she can't just keep expecting him to make the right choice and be the hero all the time when he's been under a dark curse for over three hundred years. If they are ever going to get back together, they have to both change for the better.
