I disengaged from boxing, full contact karate, stopped my itinerant-vagabond ways I got serious about my earning potential, Oh and by the way, there was no particular female involved, I was doing the male woman of the week thing at that time. It was like flipping a light switch. I have seen this happen with several guys, just less dramatically. How does that work with women? Could Truble be all Grimm on Monday and suddenly wanting to be mother on Tuesday? Kind of curious hwo that works with the fairer sex.
It seems to me with all the babies around Truble might see a different life for herself.
It works all different ways with women, izzy. I know when we first got married, my husband didn't want children right away. He never really came out and voiced it, I could just tell. To be honest, I really didn't either because I wanted to see if the marriage would take hold. A few years later people I worked with were starting families. I talked to my husband about having kids and we decided to start a family as well. But in all honesty, I never had a sudden epiphany to have children like a lot women do. I am rather glad I didn't because I don't take a lot of stock in epiphanies. I've relied on a few, only to have them backfire on me.
Not to bash my own kind, but women are sneaky and will use underhanded methods to get what they want or just simply get even. I am lucky. I have had and continue to enjoy a great marriage, but there are women out there who don't have a good marriage or aren't even married and are watching the relationship go south. So what do they do? Not the sensible thing like think things through. Instead they pull the old sneaky on their man. In other words, "Guess what? I'm pregnant!"
I watched my daughter do it and I could tell by looking at the kid she supposedly loved, there was no way this relationship was ever going to work. 17 years later he is barely in his daughter's life and my daughter is married to someone else. Thank goodness! I'm watching the same thing now with my niece, who has two kids out of wedlock. She's still with the same guy, but their relationship continues to go north and south and I wonder how long it will be until he is out of the picture, except for the child support he'll have to pay. I'm not even mentioning the people outside my family who do the same thing and countless women who appear on shows like Judge Judy. They have 2, 3, and even 4 kids by different men.
I don't get women who think a baby is going to just suddenly solve the problem.
And with that, on to Juliette because I believe she was thinking the same thing. When she confided to Nick that she thought she might have been pregnant, I found his reaction interesting. In my opinion, he reacted with surprise, which tells me she was trying for a pregnancy without telling him in the hopes of solving some kind of problem or problems between them.
Oddly enough, I think Trubel is far more sensible than Juliette. She's got her priorities in motion and it appears to me the most important thing to her is being a Grimm. She's not going to let a pregnancy screw that up for her. She might also be thinking that motherhood is not for her in view of her troubled past.
Last and certainly my least favorite person, Nick. I know you think he's taken well to fatherhood, izzy. I don't. Even the cute scene between him and Kelly fell flat in my opinion because it was apparent that Nick was completely thinking of himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at his baby and asked him if he could say or spell Grimm. (I can't recall which one he said). Either one, it just made Nick look more like a selfish doofus than ever.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
