Rumple and Mila

[chianna]

Milah has my sympathy right up to the point she abandons Bae to face the same sneers and judgment she was running from.

She and Rumple probably married young, grew content with their life together but then he proves himself to be the very coward she had been promising him he was not. His actions turned her into a fool and the laughing stock of the village. Leaving in those circumstances is understandable, why would you endure that for a man who you can’t respect and probably can’t even remember what it was like to love?

I’m sure she resented Baelfire just because he’s Rumple’s son.

Maybe based on that last scene of them in Manhattan, but remember when Bae popped up in the bar in The Crocodile? When she saw him, she kinda freaked and ushered him out and I didn’t sense any resentment there. I think she only resented Rumpel because of his actions. If she resented Bae too because he’s Rumpel’s son, she probably would have left right after Rumpel returned home instead of when Bae was 6 or 7.

She was probably convinced that being a coward is something inherited from the parents.

Probably. There was a period way back when even our science was backwards in believing stuff that we know today ISN’T true today.

Who knows what she was like as a pirate but I’m kinda disgusted either Rumple or Hook ever loved her now that we know how rotten she is – I love both guys but their taste in women took 300 years to improve.

I’m not a fan of Milah, as I’m sure most people aren’t but I do feel like we’ve missed part of her story by not seeing what she was like with Hook on his ship. Maybe she became a better person when she was with him instead of the flaming 👿 😈 nag with a really bad attitude that we all know.

To me, Milah’s a very vain person who is worried more about what people think of her than about what Rumple or Bae might be feeling. If she really thought her son would suffer more by having a coward for a father than being fatherless, why didn’t she take Bae with her on Hook’s ship?

if she would have taken Bae with her to hook’s ship, Rumpelstiltskin would have fought Hook and he would have probably died. the way I understood it Rumpel never dueled before while Hook was an expert, so as much as Rumpel wanted to save his wife, he was even more scared to leave his son alone (without a father as well as a mother) so he didn’t fight Hook.
but if Balefire was on that ship – of course Rumpelstiltskin would fight, but then he’d die and there’d be no story.

Good point.
