If so, explain. Originally, I was inclined to believe that since I'm very protective of Belle and my view of Rumple is anything but positive, but now I don't think so 'cause a) Rumple doesn't hit or gaslight Belle and b) I don't think Rumple would ever intentionally hurt Belle and I don't think lying to her quite counts as abuse, as constant as it is.
