Rumple in 5x05: Everything I did was for my son

Rumple in 5x06: I did it because I was scared, not for my son.

Once retcons all!

I'm not a Neal fan or Rumple super fan, but I'm sure it was both. In that episode, we saw that he crippled himself because he would die and leave his son fatherless. He also said that he justified everything because he did it for his son.

Rumple was never this much of a coward. These writers will have you believe that Rumple sniveled and cried at every monment with Bae and Milah, but we know that isn't the case. Yes, clearly because a crying, sniveling man broke into a castle and faced the Dark One.
