Am I the only one who wonders how Milah and Rumple ended up together?? They seem to me to be an oddly paired couple. Considering that so far we have Rumple’s early story about how he was abandoned by his father which sounds like it left him pretty scarred and it doesn’t appear that Rumple’s new life after Malcom led to a life of much more than poverty. Milah seemed to be much more worldly and adventurous than Rumple even before Hook showed up and before Rumple clubbed himself. It seemed like Milah had given up some kind of very different life to marry Rumple.
I have heard many people talk about how Milah loved Rumple until Hook stole her. I’m not slamming Milah – I’m kind of also in the camp of people who are just kind of “meh” about her – but I have always had the feeling that she NEVER loved Rumple and I have NO IDEA how they ever met or why they even got married. I have the impression she thought she was going to have a different kind of life with Rumple than she ended up with. So I always kind of felt like she loved Bae but felt like she was never supposed to have married Rumple and wasn’t really a good mother so it was easy for her to choose to leave with Hook. But then when she found someone who she felt she was better suited with she realized she made a mistake abandoning her child – kind of like Hook brought out he best in Milah.
I stole this post from the CS thread, but I think it belongs here more.
this is something I always wondered about.
If Rumpelstiltskin could spin so well, why was he not richer? and if his father’s dishonesty was overshadowing him and he was losing customers, why didn’t he want to move when Milah said let’s move? I really hope the writers will clear this up.
