Might be a good idea to ask Lin if you can add that viewpoint, since the thread specifically focused on Nick.
Well the question I posed originally was about Nick. The idea was that Nick being repulsed by Juliette woging into a hexenbiest might be a metaphor for a man repulsed by his wife when she starts to get old. He can't see himself clearly, but he can see his wife. So if she is getting old, it frightens him that he might be getting old also. His fear of his wife's old age means his own fear of old age and death and he doesn't want to face that.
But the thread goes where the thread goes and the more I listen to your different perspective the more I refine my own. I learn from you guys.
I see your point of view but I think the woging was more of a metaphor on how in order to be truly in love you have to accept the person for the bad as well as the good and while he had the initial shock of being presented with his love-turned witch he really tried to look past it to the Juliette he loved in trying to find a way to bring her back but both of their insecurities ended up damning the relationship in the end.
Yes, it looked to me that Nick still loved her even as she died in his arms. Under better circumstances, they would have grown old and grey together.

Hi Forum,
Please allow this excerpt from the NBC Recap of 1.17, Love Sick:
“Adalind is waiting at the park as Nick drives up. Nick admits he didn't bring the key, though that shouldn't stop the two of them from battling... violently. Nick and Adalind struggle back and forth, each trying to get the upper hand. Nick is able to pin Adalind under him and he surprises her with a strong kiss. Adalind responds by biting him and Nick's blood flows into her mouth, immediately starting the process of removing her powers. The Hexenbiest spirit rises from her body, and Adalind is beside herself, irate with Nick. "I'm just like everybody else now. I have nothing." Monroe calls Nicks to inform him the spell is broken and Hank is fine.”
The scene is pertinent to the question “Will you love me when I'm old and gray?”
1. When justified by the circumstance he DID kiss a Hexenbuest.
2. By kissing Hexenized Adalind he saved Hank’s life.
3. He demonstrated his Grimm fighting skill was superior to that of a Hexenbiest.
4. He demonstrated that he could outwit Renard’s heinous scheme to risk Hank’s life to steal the key from Nick.
5. He demonstrated compassion to Adalind. Other (most?) Grimms would have decapitated her for good measure.
IMHO Nick Burkhardt is a class act.

In a weird way , I think that's when my mind started thinking they were end game as far as a relationship.
