Regina - Well... That one's fairly obvious.

George - Brought Charming into his life.

Hook - Killed Milah and took his hand.

Cora - Taught her magic, which would inevitably bite him in the... butt.

Greg & Tamara - Hired by his father and using his son as a pawn.

Peter Pan - His dad, who could somehow kill Rumple if Rumple tried to kill him (that was never really explained... At all.)

Zelena - He abandoned her, which made her crazier than she already was.

Ingrid - Stole the ribbons she and her sisters wore, which inevitably led to Helga's death and Ingrid's inprisonment.

Maleficent, Ursula and Cruella - Tricked them into getting trapped with Chernabog.

Isaac - His ally.

And now Emma - His successor as the Dark One.

The only villains whose soup he hasn't put his hands into are Jafar (though I wouldn't put it past Rumple to know Amara, who is also immortal), Anastasia (who is technically his grandstudent through Cora) and Jabberwocky.
