The argument is because Nick and Adalind are living together and do things for each other that proves they are a couple. Our argument is each of the things you sight did help Nick and others. But they are also written into the show to where Adalind benefits from each and everyone of them. Compared to Monroe and Rosalee or Nick and Juliette who are also shown doing things for each other with no benefits to themselves. If it was real life you could say Adalind is just inconsiderate. What we seem to be mostly arguing about is the subtle manipulations she does, like their kiss at the table. The obvious ones like in the police station where Nick went from being pissed to being her protector, we seem to agree on. The point I keep making is viewed by it self the kiss would seem to only be a kiss. But you consider how it was written and the timing, Eve returning. If the writers where not suggestion manipulation, why write it to have these caveats. We could chalk it up to poor writing, except with Adalind the only three times she is shown in the intimate situation with Nick. They choose to preface it with some situation that causes her to be concerned about her and Nicks relationship.
What seems to be the bases of the argument is if an action has dialog that suggest sincerity, or does not have direct dialog to points to manipulation. To you she is not being manipulative. regardless of how the writers framed the action. To me writers have a choose for every thing they do. That they choose to write the build up a certain way to me has meaning. For example how Adalind left for the mansion, is as important to why she left. I am someone that believes that actions speak louder then words. To me if her stated reasoning for leaving was sincere they would have written it in a way not to raise suspicion of her motives among the viewers. The build up to her leaving was filled with a number of actions where she was less the honest with Nick. Ask yourself if it was not Nick would the manipulation seem more obvious.
