Even if we disagree that Rumple abused Belle (I don't get how you can say that but ok) I find the fact she chose him over the possibility of ever seeing her family and friends again... problematic. Some women needs friends to be happy some don’t, only because Belle’s happy ending was with her husband and son does not mean all women needs that.
