Charming might've have had a say when if she was raised with her parents but again she wasn't. So really that is really irrelavent.

If the relationship, has any chance of being rekindled and being beneficial to all parties. He needs to stop runing away from them, hoping that they just go away. Instead he needs to confront all these issues and deal with them head on.

In some ways he is just as a coward as Rumplestilksin. My point was never whether or not Charming has a say in who Emma chooses to be with. Considering his daughter is 29 (30?) years old, he obviously doesn't. The point I wanted to make is that Charming does not like Hook. So it doesn't really matter to him if Hook somehow saved his life, it still makes sense to him to point a sword at Hook and say "stay away from my daughter".

Neal leaving Emma was he being a coward?
