Had Juliette been there I would suspect she would have said something, as hard as he was staring at her. Now the argument could be made it was the Grimm in him that caused him to feel something was different about her. This suspension was answered when she woged. But even it that was not the case,some may have a problem with it I don't. I have been with women who do.
Then there is the damenfore. She was coming on to Nick and he was encouraging her attention. Two things Juliette was suspicious, plus Nick was feeling guilty. I will admit there are two ways of looking at why Nick had an interest. One it could be she was one of the first wesen he dealt with. He was also working on a case. But he also could have been attracted to her advances. On this one it would amount to emotional cheating, which I do not put a lot of stock in. I already talked about the kiss / lip bite. Then you have when Adalind tricked him into sleeping with her. Nick not being outraged could show he was ok with it which one could say he was emotionally cheating.
Even though I have pointed out the events that using a lose definition could be considered cheating. I myself do not see it as cheating. Not because there are explanations for each of the actions. To be cheating the character would need to intend on cheating. Take an actor, even though they do all kind of things on screen, the intent dos not exist. That is why quoting some definition does not prove a point.
I see all that you see. I know the differences between physical cheating and emotional cheating. I actually think Emotional Cheating is worse that physical. But you are so far off, it is ridiculous and here is why.
You point at that kiss/bite scene and you point at Nick's face scene after he finds out he slept with Adalind morphed into Juliette. Now, if all we saw was those two scenes, I would agree with you. At the same time, you conveniently discount the remainder of the 40 plus minutes of both episodes and you completely overlook what led up to those scenes.
You also go back to that 1st episode when he sees Adalind voge and has no clue what he saw because Aunt Marie wasn't over yet to tell him about the Grimm stuff. Here is how what you are claiming makes no sense. The Adalind character wasn't supposed to have gone further into the season. So much for your "writers intent" capabilities.
Another words, you are taking things out of context. You are connecting dots that do not exist. You are the one claiming of having the insight of "writers intent" yet you just easily discount 120 plus minutes of easily seen "writers intent" by what they wrote. Now you see where I get my belief that you are just full of it.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
