Rumplestiltskin on the other hand, is a power-hungry maniac and a coward. He never learns from his mistakes, and keeps pushing his loved ones away. Rumbelle may have started as a dark twist on Beauty and the Beast, but it developed into a very unhealthy relationship. It was not Belle's job to change Rumple, which is why she lost herself in the process.
