Nick proposed to Juliette when she was unaware of his grimm activities, but suspected he was keeping secrets from her. Once she became aware, that would have been the perfect opportunity to propose again. No more secrets between them and they bridged another level of understanding between them. Yet he never proposed to her again after that.
Marie's advice was for Nick to end it with Juliette and never see her again. Maybe you're thinking of his mom's advice not to leave the people he loved?
Nope. I believe you're thinking of that, otherwise why would you even bring it up? I am not. I was merely pointing out that it appeared that Marie's intent to sour Nick paid off. Not immediately and not entirely, but it can be seen in their relationship. Posters wouldn't be commenting on their relationship if Marie's words didn't have some effect on Nick. She planted the seed of doubt. It worked. The only question that's on my mind is why didn't Nick immediately act upon his doubt and boot her out? You suggested protection, but I'm not seeing Nick taking a proactive approach to protecting Juliette.
I suddenly like Aunt Marie a lot less than I did before.
