He's supposed to be this understanding character. He's gone out of his way to make sure some of the wesen he's encountered don't have to pay for their crimes. He found the time to communicate that to them and made that understood.That is an unfair assumption. Nick was suffering from an immense amount of guilty. It is guilt that drive his irrational position of denial. They only thing that would relieve his conscious of guilt would be to make her not a hexenbiest. Accepting her as a hexenbiest would not relieve his guilt.
Yet when it comes to Juliette, all of the sudden Nick has no capacity for understanding. He refuses to take the time to talk to her and shows extraordinary cruelty by refusing to sleep with her.
What happened to Juliette happened because of Nick. They both knew there might be side effects to the spell. Juliette trusted him enough to take that chance. Nick did not trust her to accept the consequences. He took the position that she needed to be fixed, rather than talking to her about what they should do.
I don't think it's unfair. Nick admitted he was at fault for what happened. As far as suffering from an immense guilt, I never saw that in Nick. I think he took a position of avoidance more than anything else.
I think you are both partly right. Nick was avoiding seeing Juliette (loved leaving messages on the phone) but when he did talk to her the option of her staying a hexenbiest and being part of his life was really not discussed and one reason why this could be he feels guilt and wants to return her to the way she was.
