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.
I would tend to agree with you Robyn, except for one really troubling episode. That was the episode where Nick and the gang broke in on the Royals and killed them. Monroe had no issue with turning into a blutbad for the kill fest. While he didn't eat anyone, there really was no reason for him to be there at all. It wasn't his fight.

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.
There was another scene that I thought Monroe should have kept his mouth shut on and that was when Juliette kissed Renard and Monroe happened to witness it. Instead of confronting Juliette and Renard, he went right to Nick with the newsflash.

I didn't see that episode, but I know there was some discussion on the forum about it.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
