Honestly, if he had just killed Zelena and not given her a fake version of the dagger and all that, things would be much less complicated and Belle would probably be less upset. Yep. I think it was totally a plot problem though it is slightly in character. If he killed Zelena and kept his dagger, Belle would give him a stern talking to and then nothing. Noone has the power to do anything to him, so there would be no consequence. Then with a little time to calm down, he could propose to her and then he could talk about cleaving himself from the dagger. Or he could have done all that secretly and....well if I were Rumple there would be no plot, lol.
