She's not dumb, it's just that her love for Rumple is causing her too ignore her instincts. Belle's instincts have always been wrong. The only time she has ever been correct about something, is when she followed logic. She has blind faith in Gold, and it is completely misplaced. He does not deserve her, and she deserves her independence. I don't like that whenever people criticise a character, they're called hates. But I agree that the blame should be placed entirely on Rumple. It's not like he's just doing things behind her back and she's turning a blind eye, this time he's actively manipulating and lying to her face. He has rassured and given her (fake) proof of his good intentions multiple times. And what's worst, he's doing so not only to keep her, but also to use her as an alibi for the things he's doing (as long as everyone thinks Belle has the Dagger, he can't be suspected). I agree with ChocolatEyes, he just doesn't deserve Belle.
