money
Scrooge's fiancee, Belle, says that a golden idol has displaced her in his heart. This comment reflects her feeling that Scrooge's love for money and wealth has become more important to him than their relationship.
Belle broke up with Scrooge because she felt he was too focused on his pursuit of wealth and power, and did not prioritize their relationship or their future together. She wanted someone who valued love and family more than money.
No one. Scrooge didn't have another woman in his life after Belle returned his ring. She later marries and has children.
Belle released Scrooge from his engagement because she felt that "another idol had taken his heart, a golden one". In brief Scrooge had started to pay more attention to his money and making money than to those he had previously loved. Therefore Belle did not want to be with someone who showed no affection to her
This was not his wife. Scrooge didnt marry at all. The person was Belle. Belle was Scrooges fiancee, his betrothed . Belle had seen Scrooge change. He had lost the poor young mans attitude and allowed wealth to take over his life. This drive for more wealth had pushed Belle out of his heart as gold now replaced his love
Belle had seen the change in Scrooge where he was hardening to the world. He had lost his beloved sister Fan and still hurting. He focused on material wealth and in doing so was ignoring Belle. Belle noticed this change and confronted him citing the fact taht when they were both poor he (Scrooge) was a happier and more loving person yet now "a Golden Idle" had taken her place in his heart and she therefore relased Scrooge from his promise (of marridge)
Scrooge would regret marrying Belle because he prioritized accumulating wealth over their relationship, causing him to neglect her emotionally. Belle recognized that love and happiness were more important to her than material possessions, leading her to leave Scrooge. This regret serves as a catalyst for Scrooge's transformation in "A Christmas Carol."
He isn't. Scrooge is so focused on business that he wants belle to wait until another time to discuss the matter, he was busy. This was the telling factor for Belle as to Scrooges commitment. Later we see Scrooge accompanied with the Ghost shouting at the vision of his past to go after Belle not to let her go. This of course is the past and it cannot be changed but it does highlight that Scrooge did love Belle he just lost focus on what was important
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Scrooge and Belle went their separate ways because Scrooge chose money over love like a fool. Belle had enough of his penny-pinching ways and decided to leave his miserly behind. So, in a nutshell, Scrooge lost a good woman because he couldn't get his priorities straight.
Belle was betrothed in marriage to Scrooge. When Belle noticed that Scrooge was becoming more work focused and sought to earn evermore money he lost most interest in her - She told him he was released from his promise because he and another love a golden one

He is betrothed to Belle, but she breaks the engagement because he has grown to love money more than anything else.
