I don't agree with everything on both sides of this debate but I felt the need to address this point specifically? This isn't a serious argument, is it?
This particular point in the debate seems like arguing just for the sake of arguing. Does nobody remember that Nick was talking about killing Adalind to save Hank right before Rosalee explained what "killing the Hexenbiest" actually entailed? Does anybody really believe Nick used it as an opportunity to cheat on Juliette and make out with Adalind?
I think Nick and Adalind ending up together has really led to some weird revisionist history. Nick did show attraction to her when he first saw her. That lasted briefly until he saw Adalind woge. Nick wasn't shown to have any attraction to Adalind for the rest of season 1. There was only disdain and he was pretty open about it to the point where Hank was concerned about it. He was clearly hostile to the woman he was assigned to protect and later on became Hank's lust object. Show me just one scene where Nick was lusting after Adalind after their initial scene. Even then, he was checking her out from across the street, never approached her, and didn't expect to ever see her again.
I never said what Nick did was anything close to cheating and it is ridiculous to think so. I was trying to divulge deeper into some contributors reasoning's by trying to see from their point of view and with a more open minded with the benefit of the doubt. To see if they applied the same reasoning to Nick's counterpart, Juliette. Did I succeed? As much as I tried, we seem to just go in circles. I wont deny my bias on these character and wish some would be honest enough to admit their bias. I did try to see from them from another angle, since I am constantly being accused of being close minded. So I gave it a shot. What I am getting back so far is, like you said, arguing about the argument.

I agree with your comments about the "cheating" plot lines in Grimm. Infidelity is a hackneyed plot line used by hack writers:

I recall discussions on this Forum where I compared the sexual morals of unfaithful characters to those of swine in a pig sty. IMO, The love story of Barbara and George H.W. Bush shows the strength and trust that flows from true love and a permanent (from this day forth) relationship.

Quote:In her 1994 memoir, Barbara Bush describes her and her husband as “the two luckiest people in the world, and when all the dust is settled and all the crowds are gone, the things that matter are faith, family and friends. We have been inordinately blessed, and we know that.”What powerful words!

What I find amusing is how I am getting labeled of being old fashion, puritanical and unable to accept current trends in modern day relationships. What my critics don't seem to comprehend is, those accusations are compliments to my persona.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
