The reason why Rumple was hurt is because getting dumped stinks. As much as I really don't like to think about it, Rumple and Cora did have some romantic feeling for each other. Let put it this way if your boyfreind/girlfriend  come to you tell you they are dumping you and marrying someone else. Wouldn't you feel hurt and betrayed? I know I would.

As it was established on the show, Rumple does have the power of foresight, but I think that ability does have limits. Since I think there are aspect of the future that can allude him. Because if that were the case he would have known that Evil Queen was lieing about Belle's death, and he would have known that the Giants still existed and gone up the bean stalk to negotiate a deal for one their magic beans and been able to go to the Land Without Magic without the dark curse.
