The only incident of Monroe ‘falling off the wagon’ and then regaining his ‘sobriety’ was the episode (S1, I think) when his ex-girlfriend showed up, having accepted a contract on him. Monroe was drawn to the woman, but more so to the carefree, predator lifestyle he remembered having with her. Monroe did share a hunt or two with her, but then got his calm, domesticated life back on track. I think Monroe’s growing feelings for Rosalee and that she was a positive influence in maintaining this calmer lifestyle was likely a big incentive.
That may very well be the case. Monroe bringing up that Nick had slept with Juliette and Adalind while they were each other surprised me. Viewers were aware of what took place and why, so Monroe pointing it out to Nick didn’t serve any purpose other than the two men sharing a little locker room talk.
It’s the same when Nick told Monroe he’d had sex with Adalind, and followed up with ‘I thought you should know’. Why on earth would Monroe or anyone for that matter need to know Nick had sex with Adalind or anyone else? It would be different if Nick was suddenly worried that sex with Adalind might reinstate the original spell and take him Grimm again. But as it was, it just felt like more locker room talk, or maybe Nick's immaturity showing through.
