Nick had a pretty nice life for a cop.

The fact that Renard sweetened the pot by letting Nick do whatever he damn well pleased helped too. I'm thinking Nick was under the impression that this life was never going to catch up with him because he had the protection of the police behind him.

saying for a cop sounds like you feel he was living beyond his means. As a cop implies being a cop affords him the ability to have a nice life.
Just an observation.

Just as an FYI, you might want to check your spelling once in a while.

This is what I meant, outside of financial stability I never knew any LEO who described themselves as having a pretty nice life due to the pressure of the job, the shift work, the stress on the family etc.

All the nights I spent with various LEOs I know the conversation about the job itself was resoundingly negative.

So my comment about "for a cop" was a reference to the idea that the a cop's life is a bit harder than your average citizen's and just wanted to understand what you were saying.

And that is what I was curious about, what you were actually saying, and I still am not sure.

I was deliberately being vague so not to lead you to or influence your answer. But since this took a rather unexpected turn I'll be very plain.

Do you think cops have good lives (taking out of consideration financial stability). I am talking about quality of overall life due to what they are exposed to and the conditions they work in.

P.S. my grammar sucks and no amount of remediation steps I have attempted has satisfactorily resolved the issue.

He was content with his job and his personal life was going well too. That's what I meant when I said Nick has a nice life as a cop. Nick's life as a Grimm was not so nice.

In real life, no way, no how. The police world is a constant exposure to scum and insanity, not to mention micro managing media when something goes drastically wrong. It's a terrible occupation that takes a toll. I think the only good things that really come out of it are the strength and courage of the people on the force. What would we do without them?

And I honestly do not have the desire for it. :-( because I am still upset and mournful about the last episode. And I have a lot thinking about the whole "Nadalind" thing in the last days - but still I am unhappy and dissatisfied about the " rush " between them. But don't get me wrong: All I wanted was that Nick and Adalind will becoming friends - even if it was only for the baby sake. Or slowly come together.

Okay, I will try to explain where is my problem: At the end of the 4th season I was no longer the biggest Juliette fan, which I was once. I can understand why Nick and Juliette have separated - and I have to say: At first I had a hart time to accept the separation.

At the beginning I was never a big Adalind fan, but slowly I began to like her. Slowly, but really slowly after the separation between Nick and Juliette. I began to see the the chemistry between Nick and Adalind.

Do I need to mention, that I am a disappointed? I WANTED MORE from Nick (that he goes to EVE) and talk to her even for trying to talk to her and „maybe“ going into her. BUT NOTHING like that happen. Even if the both that before their difficulties, but that does the both not deserve.
