I can understand where you're coming from but when I watched the show, I saw a repulsed Nick who couldn't accept a changed Juliette at face value. That's how I read his reaction and body language, especially where he was jumpy when he saw her the next morning. I didn't think that reaction was based off guilt, more of being scared and nervous around a dangerous Hexenbiest in his house. Given his experience, this is understandable but nevertheless unnecessary because Juliette loves him and would never have thought to hurt him if he had accepted her from the beginning.

We each have different opinions on the matter, and I can see both sides of the argument. To support your opinion, Nick did try to reach out to Juliette and get her back but only after she walked out on him. If he had handled the situation better, he wouldn't have had to do this and Juliette would still be with him. So in all I can say, it was Nick's fault, not for being ignorant, but for handling the situation badly from the beginning. Juliette did say she loved him before she woged so he should have tried to calm down and not pull a gun on her no matter how on edge he was. It was from that moment where he was tested for a positive reaction and he failed, dismally. Nick was not so much repulsed by Juliette's visage, he's stared down hexenbiests before but from a deep sense of failure on his part.

He was ashamed

He failed

He had Juliette pay the price, in his mind, for his powers

Besides, Juliette didn't make it easy on Nick at all by woging in his face. I'm sure if my wife were to stuff her mouth full of half eaten nuts and other foods in her mouth, I'd turn away with a little revulsion too

Nick tried, Juliette gave up from the get go. This is not on Nick, it's on Juliette who became a witch with a capital B as well
