I personally think she needs to be abandoned. Cue the gasps and the screams. If you see what happened with Cristina Yang at the end of the third season. She was slowly losing bits and pieces of herself to Preston Burke and on the day she was getting married, her mother-in-law took shaved off her eyebrows, Cristina was wearing a wedding dress + family necklace (She is not a dressy kind of person), and was having a big wedding that she didn't want. Burke left her and then Cristina's person and maid of honor (Meredith Grey) told the guests it was over. She went back to the apartment and found Cristina there alone and starting to agonize over Burke leaving with all his personal belongings. It was one of the worst moments in Cristina's life, but it was then explained over the course of 7 seasons and by the 22nd episode of season 10, Cristina was thankful for that because it made her stand on her own two feet and not have to rely on anyone. I don't want to see Belle broken, but at the same time I want her to get some of her willpower and fire back. Rumple is not the sun... She is. A parallel to Cristina's last line to Meredith.
