Perhaps that is their price for dealing with magic all the time (i.e. neither dwarves nor fairies are permitted to fall in love, marry, or have a family). It’ll be interesting to find out where fairies come from and whether there are male fairies. The penalty for failing to serve the magic realm by granting wishes would be a fairy losing her wings. It’s not clear whether there would be a penalty for a dwarf failing to mine for diamonds.
Maybe no magical creature is allowed to have love. Maybe that’s a strictly human thing. There were certainly going to be major consequences for Rumple if he allowed himself to love — he would have lost his magic altogether. I might be mistaken but I seem to recall somebody saying that love is the most powerful magic of all. (Did I dream that?) Maybe you can either have one or the other, but not both. EQ had magic but no love. And didn’t Malificent lose her love? I don’t know. Just shows there is a lot more to this show than it seems at first glance. (Which is why I love it!)
