With the spoiler about the entire series changing direction I'm thinking the "happy endings" may be a thing of the past...may not even be their end game. I would not compare Neal/Emma to Mr. Gold/Belle. They are totally different situations. Neal sacrificed his happiness for Emma's destiny, and went on to live a normal life. He is entitled to have someone in his life, to fill that void. Eleven years, is a long time.

It's not about comparing the two couples...it's about only being able to take so much dark and gloomy heartache at a time...we've hardly been given any breathing room after the Rumbelle breakup. And whether you ship or don't ship it sounds like Manhattan is going to be another dark and gloomy episode. Especially now that it sounds more and more like that grim fate is referring to Henry.
