In the beginning he was angry but his guilt eventually replaced the anger because he saw just how his life had affected her (and his friends) and he blamed himself for everything, although I don't agree wholly with this development. I would have preferred equal distribution of guilt (from the writers) instead of heaping it all on Nick.
He rightly should have felt guilty about happenned with/to Juliette but that was also part of the demise of their relationship. His love turned into anger at the betrayal, then faded into guilt. If he hadn't felt any guilt then he would be been a total POS. However, IMO, I didn't see that the writers' heaped all the blame on Nick for everything. I know that at the end he felt guilty when everyone had died because it was due to his actions or choices as a grimm and it had affected them all (also being very reactive like MLG pointed out. Not doing any research before jumping into the mirror and letting Zestorer out). This is why when the hard reset occurred he appeared overjoyed and we see that he is unburdened from most of that guilt.

When Nick and Juliette decided Nick was to be a grimm again they were deciding that a normal life together was not happening and the whole surprise that she turned into a hexenbiest unexpectedly illustrated that. When Nick told her that she could not be hexenbiest it partly sounded like Nick did not want her to "special" now that they could not be normal.
You made a very good point here. Great insight, IMO. So true. I think she did point out that once she had tasted the power of the wesen world she understood why Nick couldn't or wouldn't give it up (for her). He wanted to remain a grimm and keep his powers but keep trying to 'fix' (depower), her from her POV. For Nick it was about fixing how his choice to remain a grimm had, in his mind, adversely affected her. Of course, aunt Marie's warning was playing at the back of his mind.
Also, Nick's initial reaction/repulsion when he saw that Juliette had become a hexenbiest was so visceral, it had to have stung. It would have been hard to erase that from memory, though he did try to make up for his lack of sensitivity.
