You're not the only one. To me it just came across as yet another example of her not getting to make her own choices, and it really bothers me.
ME TOO. And I mean, that's where her whole character arc comes from, right? She wants freedom but she can't have it, so she takes the lesser version: control. And for control, she needs power, and that's where Rumple and magic come in. I mean, that's her character, right? Am I going insane?
So the idea of Regina being with someone she's "fated" or "destined" for really irks the fuck out of me. I'm cool with Outlaw Queen if it's getting Regina to a place where she's totally rejecting all this stuff and finally tells destiny to shove it, but I really don't think that's what's happening. At all. So. :[
