I think I figured out where this is going. Like a lot of commentors I have an idea of put two people together and we know where that is going. Nick and Adalind will be an example how none conformaty can work.

The bottom line is they have a child that needs both parents. They are both shown to want to be responsible for the sake of the child. Most people would expect, their being forced to be together they will overcome their past and learn to have a normal relation. I don't think the show is going that way. Grimm is going to show how what would normally be an extremly dysfunctional situation can be made to work.

In these first few episodes they are shown learning how to have respect and trust for each other. We will next see them learning to compromise. How people see and believe what this relation is will depend on how open minded you are.

Lets take they sleep in the same bed but have no intention of having sex. Us old folks might find that hard to believe. A lot of the younger viewers might not have even given it a second thought. You youngsters do realize there was time when dorms where not coed. A time when two women sharing an apartment with a man, or two men sharing  an apartment with a women was  never heard of. Now days people don't give it a second thought.

Nick and Adalind living arrangement is being built off the view that men and women can relate to each other, even love and care for each other. Without going to the point of it being a romantic situation.

Take the last time they showed Adalind and Sean together, They where both naked in the same bed. A lot of people keep saying that was when Adalind  got preganet because they could not believe it would be possible for nothing to have happened.

A lot of guys still have that narrow view that a female friend is someone you would like to sleep with but just can't make a move. That is why Adalind comment to her sleeping arrangement because she gets scared is so funny. It plays on the old idea that a man and women can not just sleep in the same bed. Guys have gotten so stero type that sex is the only thing on our mind, it has become the butt of many jokes.

News flash there are some of us that have evolved.
