The first half of season five doesn't really count as Emma was the Dark One; she should be expected to make wrong decisions. Emma and Hook are the sweetest relationship since Snow and Charming. The worst relationship on this show, I think, is Rumplestiltskin and Belle. That is not, and has never been, healthy.

But why Rumbelle is so unhealthy to if nothing counts like for CaptainSwan as long as someone is a Dark One huh?

The Darkness did not make Rumplestiltskin the way he was. Even when he no longer had the Darkness, he still made selfish decisions. And his actions are far worse than anything Emma ever did. Emma's only mistake was that she tried to do everything on her own, and she seemed to regret it immediately. Rumplestiltskin repeatedly rationalizes everything he does and never seems to truly care for anyone but himself.
