I rechecked those scenes and while Rumple does a lot of posturing, Ingrid is the one with all the power. Every time she confronts him, he retreats.

He did threaten to kill her, but it was an empty threat, because he finishes that scene by stating all he can do is make her miserable for the rest of her life.
