I have rarely, if ever, read the question of why Nick didn't let her go when Marie told him to.It's not blame for either. Two fully informed adults made their own decision. Nick absolutely made a decision for Juliette when staying with her and not telling her what was happening. But when he did eventually tell her everything, Juliette made her decision on the spot rather than taking time to think it over.
However, I don't think anyone could have fathomed the scope of danger they would face because he was a Grimm. Hindsight might be 20/20, but sometimes it's just a bitch biting your ass too late to make a difference.
I should have never brought up the blame issue because that really had nothing to do with my question. I know Juliette made the decision to stay once she found out what Nick was.
Nick believed Marie when she told him all about the grimm heritage. He made the decision not to immediately share any of his little grimm activities with Juliette. According to the consensus here, it was his house. He owed Juliette nothing and what she wants really has no bearing in this. If he wants her out, she'd have to leave, end of story. Why didn't he let her go? Was he really all that in love with her to keep her there? Was he a chicken and couldn't decide? Was he simply obsessed with Juliette? What would possess him to act so secretive toward her, yet keep her there?
I know the writers wrote this this way, but I would like to go beyond the writing and look at it from Nick's point of view, just for the fun of debate.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
