For Robin and Marian, it was like four years, roughly. Well, Robin did come to Regina every five seconds and that couldn't help and gave up on his commitment to Marian and.....

What about MM and David? I say 30 because it was 30. Frozen in time for some of it or no, once they remembered, that passage of time became real.

Even outside of that, if you call it four years, that still negates their marriage in my mind. Robin had no choice but to assume his wife was dead and then move on with his life without her. that means he went through an entire grieving process for her, and I think the idea that just because she shows up later the two should get back together is just... wrong. He went through a very painful process after losing her and there's nothing wrong with him trying to make it with someone new. To me, he's trying to honor his wife, which I admire, especially because I'm not sure it's something I could do if I was in the same situation. I don't feel he was leading Regina on or that it was wrong of him to sleep with his wife, he was trying to stand by his choice, which was basically the only one available to him at the time. I'm interested to see how it goes going forward.

My issue with David and Mary Margaret is how MM reacted. She went around like she was doing nothing wrong at the time, even being shocked at Kathryn's reaction and Granny's. You're sleeping with a MARRIED MAN! You can't have it both ways or try to smile in Kathryn's face when she confronts you. The argument at the time was always "well she's Snow and he's Charming they just don't remember!" which never cut it for me.

My only comment on Belle is that her marriage to Gold is over in my eyes. Marriage is a piece of paper that should accompany a deep connection and commitment. I don't feel her (seemingly incredibly) dalliance with Will is wrong simply because she hasn't technically divorced Gold. That relationship is over, ya know?

Final sidebar, this thread is awesome! :D
