His love for her (or hers for him) was no longer enough to work through this latest issue. Nick said he would never hurt her but I don't think she believed him.
Adalind made the same assumption that Nick would hurt her but she hoped he wouldn't and believed him. That's it. Love was an issue for them at this stage despite Adalind's feelings for him so she couldn't rely on a pre-existing loving relationship, in fact she had an antagonistic relationship with Nick almost up to Kelly's birth that should have made her extremely nervous and trigger happy to defend herself against him had she not trusted him.
Which was what i said, juliette gave nick her life to protect in season 1, did a crappy job at doing it, she got a gun and even that didn't help. she got poisoned by adalind's cat and the thing does, was to take her to the hospital only without a thought of thinking that they will have no solution to it until monroe told him that the hospital isn't the way out. She kept on living in nick amnesia phase with nick doing nothing until things got worst and nick started venting unnecessary anger.
Adalind didn't necessarily need love, she didn't want to be alone and getting it with a baby for nick, seem like a perfect opportunity.

yes they were different especially when it comes one person who has lived with the spirit throughout her entire life and one who had just lived with it for less than a month. the hexenbiest is a spirit which isn't something that can be controlled by ordinary human being, when there isn't a manual for it. think of it like a demon spirit or embodying a supernatural being, like a holy spirit, you all talk as if it's like water you can just drink and nothing will happen to you.
When adalind lost the spirit in S01, what did she do??, she went about causing havock. so she lost it again temporarily in S04, she has a hang of it, she knows how to act normal. How come the reaction won't be different.

Juliette was well aware of how much Nick was in love with her, because she even asks him in that dialogue if HE is scared of hurting HER. Due to Juliette's personality, she is naturally more aloof, independent, confident, and analytical in her thinking. That is not a bad thing btw. Adalind presented herself as more stereotypically 'female' in her ways, her human nature is far more softer, vulnerable, and I guess you can say more trusting,'affectionate/warmer' towards Nick.
It's interesting that you compared the two women. But it still comes down to this, in my opinion. Whether we see Juliette as aloof or not, she was always there for Nick. Up until she became a hexenbiest. Whether we see Adalind as more vulnerable or not, she was always there for Nick. When she gave up being a hexenbiest. All they did was exchange places. Oh, and Adalind brought her kids into the warehouse.
What I am saying is they can change the women all they want. But it's a waste of time if none of those changes have any bearing on the main character. Neither woman changed Nick.
Before anyone says this is Grimm and Nick is a grimm, I will totally agree with that. But then why waste female characters and children on him? He easily could have come home to an empty house, went to sleep and started the whole story rolling all over again, only this time with a different wesen of the week.
these "aloof" word being mentioned, you guys should know exact meaning to certain words before it's used, Because juliette was a complete opposite to what tha word really meant. She was the one that made nick, monroe and rosalee more Platonically intimate. Brought them together, had dinner together, made him had more friendly relationships and also made him had less of a boring relationship compared to nick and adalind.
If someone can show or give me one exciting event or funny event or funny convo nick and adalind had when they got together, please talk
