Yes but here's the other side of the coin, js. Nick has just been given the very thing he apparently has needed all of his life, and that's to be a grimm. He told Hank he loved being a grimm. It's obvious he didn't want to give that up.
He also has a woman who's not happy with him the way he is, but he's not ready to give her up to be a grimm. So he does what he thinks is appealing to *her* and proposes.
I don't think Nick was remotely aware of Juliette's true feelings about his Grimm life. She's worked hard to be let in from the outside only to find that it wasn't really all glitter and gold. She was steadfast in supporting him but for herself, it wasn't the life she envisioned. She thought being a cop's wife would be the most she'd have to deal with but now it wasn't. A powerless Nick was probably a godsend for her. She was thinking "FINALLY" they'll (read: she'll) get some peace but they'd long past the point of no return.
With the second proposal, he thinks they want the same things in life, they probably did but they'd never get them because he now valued being a Grimm above everything else.
