I know that I probably don't seem like I would, but I hate Rumbelle. I liked it in FTL and the beginning of S2, but then it got incredibly stupid. How can you say that his relationships with Cora and Milah were more real, though? XD, I love Cora, but she was a ruthless social climber who didn't care who she stepped on to get to the top. She had the hots for Rumple, sure, but she valued power above all else. Actually, that's how she fell for him--getting saved from death, learning to spin straw into gold, and winning the prince of a kingdom and becoming a royal is so attractive, no? :P

Maybe Milah and Rumple had a happy marriage and genuinely loved each other in the past, but she was quick to hate him once society branded him a coward, and found that a good enough reason to ditch her husband and son for some pirate.
