He promised his next child to the healer not necissarily Milah's next child. It is the same thing if a father were to have an emergancy sugery to save his son's life that would result in the father being sterile after without time to ask his wife first. Nobody would have questioned the father in that scenario. Rumple did not have time to ask Milah's opinion he had to make a choice, his son dies, he kills the healer and becomes a murderer, or he gives away his probably never going to be born next child. Any father in his situation would have done the same. An excellent point, I wish I'd thought of that before. Same to Farerb for talking about getting a vasectomy. Rumple's choice had a bigger impact on himself than Milah, because Milah could still have a child with someone else if she wanted, it was just Rumple who was doomed to give up his second child. And a couple should only have a child if both halves want it. If Milah didn't want another baby Rumple wouldn't have thrown a tantrum saying she's decided the rest of his life for him, so why should she do the same? I think she was wrong not to be grateful that her first child can live at all without bloodshed, especially when it was hers and Rumple's fault that Bae almost died to begin with. And if I realised I couldn't keep an eye on my only son while he gets bitten by a venomous snake, I wouldn't even want or deserve the responsibility of 2 children.
