I agree with you in a sense - I just don't think the way of showing that is having two characters who have fought so hard to be together wind up separated... To me, there's an aspect to the fairytales that shouldn't be tampered with - Yes... they're in the real world, but they're still fairytale characters- ... even in the real world. I'm not watching OuaT because the characters are like everyone else... I'm watching it because in a lot of ways they are the antithesis of the real world and of real relationships. I love that Regina is trying to redeem herself - and I do agree that good and evil aren't black and white, but I still think the writers are trying to show a contrast - at least to an extent. More so though, in love and hate. Look at the characters who live for vengeance... they are met constantly with unexpected repercussions, because of their actions...

They've definitely made a point of showing us that love wins out... and I just see too much contradiction to that in Snow and Charming splitting up.
