The same principal applies to other professions too, not just LE. Nurses come to mind. They are also faced to working rotating shifts & long hours.Nurses, and hospital staff in general, alongside firefighters are the examples I was thinking of when I said “(or any other crazy work hours job)”. But do you seriously expect your relatives who’re in those relationships to always just quietly support those hours without ever speaking up about them? I’ve heard complaints both from the partners. And from the people working those hours. And I thought both valid.
Juliette isn’t yelling at Nick over this. She’s just saying that she’d rather have him at home and that he should sleep more. Which I’d say is a good sign in a relationship. If she was going “oh thank God you’re finally leaving!” I’d be a lot more concerned.
The point I made by referring to nurses as you added firefighters was to point out not everyone in such a relationship is a good match in the long run. Do they all fail? NO. Do they all succeed? NO. How does this reference Nick and Juliette? They were incomparable with Nick working his hours.

E1, His aunt comes for a surprise visit and she doesn’t bother to drop a dime to give him a heads-up? She was only the aunt that was a mother to him during his childhood. Kind of an inconsiderate life partner for my taste I would have expected a phone call.
Aunt Marie: Sorry for the short notice.
Juliette: What, you didn’t know that she was coming?
(05-01-2018, 08:56 AM)Zansy Wrote: So no, Juliette didn’t bother to call. Because she assumed that Nick knew that Aunt Marie was coming, since normally you do call the people you’re going to visit ahead of time. More amazingly, she quietly accepted coming home to meeting his aunt who she didn’t see in two years without any heads up.
So all that time Aunt Marie was sitting there waiting on Nick to get home, the two were just staring at each other? No small talk about her visit? No mentioning that Nick didn't tell Juliette she was visiting? All they did was just stare. The same Juliette just "assumed". The same suspicious Juliette we got to know, was not one bit curious why Nick wouldn't tell her that his second mom was going to visit?

(05-01-2018, 08:56 AM)Zansy Wrote: Juliette is the one who *told* Hank that he needs to rest for eight hours. No, she’s not happy that Nick needs to go. But look a little closer at what she’s saying:
“You’ve been turning this no sleep thing into an art form lately.” So we’re not talking usual cop hours. We’re talking Grimm hours. - And Juliette doesn’t know that. She just sees him bury himself into work even more than usually after his aunt just passed away.
Does it matter if he is spending extra time doing police work or Grimm work. Point is, she was upset about his longer working hours. We agree on her being upset, just she doesn't know he is a Grimm. This should have been a good time to let her in his secret.

(05-01-2018, 08:56 AM)Zansy Wrote: In the supermarket scene both Juliette and Nick mention that they made bad partner choices in the past. That happens. “You’re one to talk. I met your first girlfriend.” - “Okay, that was not chemistry. That was stupidity.” - Having two relationships before you settle down doesn’t make you a floozy. But I generally don’t like the term. Why would women have to live up to standards society doesn’t expect of men? And no, historically a man would be considered vigorous for sleeping around. While a woman would be called a loose. If she's lucky. That does need to change. And you don't seem to mind if other women are free with there sexual morals.
As you do seem to like Angelina. And that woman is in a relationship *while* she’s going on that hunt with Monroe. And Monroe is aware of this. Shouldn’t that bother you more if you’re concerned about morality? I mean, more than whether or not Juliette loved everyone she was with before she met Nick?
On some other post, I posted a list of the whole main cast in order of whom were the biggest sluts. Sean was on top and Wu was at the bottom, the rest inbetween, including Rosalee. Yea, I am old fashion. In this case Nick, Juliette and Angelina were all sluts too. Difference was, IMO, Angelina was exciting, Juliette was BORING!
The next two sections I deleted since we kinda of agreed.

Angelina; This is insane. Three Blutbaden in a room with one Grimm. And we're all having a little chat. We should be having dinner.

And she’d want to kill a Grimm who is trying to protect her brother. Before she goes and lures Monroe out on a hunt to celebrate their freedom from society’s rules, leaving her own brother unprotected after she claims she came there to do just that.
(Sorry. Angelina is rude to Rosalee when the two meet. So don't expect me to like anything about her. And it's so easy to point to her flaws, really. And in case you were wondering, people attacking Rosalee verbally or physically make it to the doghouse really, really quickly with me.)
Well, in my "Fan Fiction". Angelina's discretion's with her past could have been forgiven like we forgave Monroe and a bunch of other Blutbaden.
Her treating Dear Rosalee? She still had a thing for Monroe and here you have a Fuchsbau hooking up with a Blutbad. How did that work out for them, in the Wesen world later on after they get married.
Now, if Nick, in my "Fan Fiction" stepped in to replace Monroe, in Angelina's heart. No more animosities towards Rosalee from Angelina. Monroe and Rosalee live happily ever after. See, I just killed two birds with one stone.
Angelina would have caved in for the love of a Grimm and reformed, accept Monroe and Rosalee ever after, then become one of the scoobies in killing evil Wesen
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
