When did Rumple abuse Belle? Okay, here:

Season 1:

Enslaves her and keeps her from her family, using the threat of her family dying to make her go with him

Making her think he lost Bae due to some tragic circumstance rather than his own flaws

Makes her an accomplice in a murder and never told her about it

Grabs her, violently shakes her and screams "SHUT THE HELL UP"

Season 2:

Deliberately keeps her from her father (iirc he tore down posters Moe had put up looking for her)

Lied to her about Milah (said "she died" when in reality, he killed her in a fit of jealous rage)

Manipulated her into coming to the library when she had told him she didn't want to see him

Took advantage of her Lacey persona in order to pursue a relationship while doing things the real Belle would never have approved of

Season 3:

Built their marriage proposal on a lie (and made her an alibi for a murder). He either intended to hurt Belle or just didn't care that she would get hurt

Season 4:

Their entire relationship was on shaky consent ground because dagger

Used magic to freeze her in place without her permission

Allowed Belle to have a breakdown because she felt so guilty because "you would never lie to me"

Planned on aiding the Snow Queen in murdering her family and friends then abducting and raping her

The started to plan to rewrite the book, which was also rape (bascially the magical/fantasy equivalent of date rape)

Stalked her both online and in real life

Refers to her like a poessession ("Will took something I care for")

Sexually assaults her twice (once when he was disguised as Hook and used that chance to touch her breast and once when he kissed her while she was unconscious)

Season 5:

Raped her (5x11)

Told her she can olny be happy while she is with him ("If you choose to condone me we can have it all, a family")

Told her she would "see I'm right"

Gaslights her by telling her she fell in love with the man and the beast

Kisses her when she is under the Sleeping Curse (noramlly I do not count TLK attempts as assault but she told him she did nto want to be with hima nd he would not wake her)

Season 6:

Invaded her mind and tried to brainwash her

Stalked her again

Belle knew Killian was putting his life in danger by helping her

Used Gideon as leverage ("if you want whats best for him you will come back to me")

Put a magical tracking device on her
