The only reason he wasn't happy in the r/ship was cos of his stupidity, selfishness and the woman he's with now.I wasn’t implying Nick wasn’t happy with Juliette. Honestly, I haven’t watched enough N/J related scenes to draw a conclusion one way or the other. I only meant that his relationship with Adalind is different than with Juliette, but much of that comes from Adalind having mother responsibilities and Juliette didn’t.
Quote:From the way the events of season 5&6 has gone, I don't see where he isn't supposed to love adalind or even trust her or where he's convincing himself not to love her cos the boat has sailed long time ago.IMO, much of the N/A confusion comes from G&K’s refusal to commit one way or the other, compounded by them changing direction with N/A mid stream and ignoring any positive scenes that had aired. There isn’t an obvious reason Nick suddenly mistrusted Adalind other than G&K deciding they didn’t want Nick as comfortable with Adalind as they’d presented him in prior episodes. They didn’t bother with giving Nick a reason for his attitude change other than Adalind proclaiming love followed by sex.
I just have a problem with the way they keep telling us he loves her without any obvious signs. We spent s05 trying to look for signs except that he likes how she's a good mother and if that's the sign then I strangely accept it; all of a sudden those weird s05 scenes disappears and nick is all in love.
Quote:If the show had started with adalind I feel either way it would all be the same outcome, and he would be unhappy cos his unhappiness didn't come from her except when she refuses him sex; so like I said the society these days equates sex to love.I agree, sex does not equate love any more than love guarantees exhilarating sex.
If Juliette withheld sex because she was angry with Nick, she was probably avoiding intimacy. Big difference. I never considered N/J as having wild, hot sex, but I did assume they shared intimacy. Not sure if N/A had hot, wild sex at the loft, but they did during their afternoon delight that took Nick’s Grimm. However, I don’t believe N/J have experienced intimacy.
Changing the subject a bit, but…
One of the big differences in N/J & N/A is that Juliette was hands on active in Grimm duties, and Adalind focused on home & family. I got the impression that if they weren’t hindered by sins of the past, Nick enjoyed coming home to family life. But that’s not actually my point.
There has been numerous comments about how much Juliette helped Nick, risked her life, etc. but Adalind didn’t do anything to help Nick with his Grimm duties. I don’t understand this. One, Adalind has a baby at home, and can’t just strap Kelly to her back and go chase bad guys. And two, Juliette didn’t get actively involved in Nick’s cases before he became a Grimm, and I don’t think he would have permitted it. So why is it so normal, and expected, that Juliette would want to be involved in Grimm/Wesen cases, or that Nick would want her to?
