Honestly watching the movie is what made me realize what they are actually going for with pink\rose. Pink\Rose is just...a normal person. She isn't meant to be prefect or a raging b***h. she was a victim of her circumstances.

she was a person who was expected to live for everyone else, do the right things, be prim, be proper, etc. when Pink\Rose started making decisions that hurt others it was literaly just a turning point where she started to focus on self care.

Spinel made literally everything a game, even when Pink\Rose was trying to be serious. Spinel didn't want to grow up. She wanted to be Rose's play mate and dance in the garden and have a good time and never knew when to stop. That isn't Spinel's fault. It's what she was made for. The behavior was however super frustrating and toxic for Pink\Rose who wanted to grow up so she cut Spinel off.

Spinel felt like she didn't have an explaination and got jealous, got mad at being abandoned, etc...because she didn't realize the answer was right in front of her and honestly its prefectly justified response. She didn't mean to be toxic for Pink\Rose but sometimes people are without realizing it.

If we look at where this falls in the timeline, being right before the establishment of earth colony and probably not too long after her original pearl was taken away, then this is the possibly the first time Pink\Rose cut someone off for the sake of her own growth and set the future precedent for her behavior. Cutting people off was the only survivalist tactic she knew so she kept going back to it, bubbling bismith, making the other diamonds believe she was dead, etc until it eventually backfired irrepairably.

Another possiblity for Pink\Rose abandoning Spinel could be the fate of her original pearl. We still don't know what led to her being broken. It is possible she was broken by white as punishment for Pink\Rose's childish behavior or for the childish behavior she encouraged in Pink\Rose. If that is the case, Pink\Rose could have feared spinel's childishness would lead to her being broken or shattered as well and thus commanded her to stay put to protect her.
