The first time he saw Adalind, who was the first wesen he ever saw, he did not recoil like he did with Juliette. When they where in Sean apartment and Adalind woged Nick even jokes you find that attractive. But he did not have to look away.

So what was it about Juliettes woge the repulsed Nick, but Adalind woge was ok. What was it about Juliette that being woken by Juliette when he was on the couch he recoiled from her. The fact he could not even sleep in the same bed with Juliette. But he has no problem  sleeping in the same bed with Adalind.

It is this hyposcracy that i think makes the Nick and Adalind combination so unbearable. If he would have given Juliette half the acceptance that he gives Adalind it would have gone much different. Now they are going to have Nick work with the Juliette that repulsed him, what has changed. If they use she saved my life as a reason for accpeting her now, that will be a weak excuse. Once again you are wrong Syscrash

Nick never did reject Juliette and wanted to FIX the Hexenbiest part. The reason Nick couldn't look at Juliette as a Hexenbiest was because it was HIS FAILURE to protect her. HE wan't afraid of her, he was completely ashamed of his failure as a Grimm, a Cop and most importantly that hefailed the woman he wanted to build his world around. As for Adalind woging, he was not in love with her. Adalind was born a Hexenbeist and not Nick's problem. Juliette BECAME a Hexenbeist and Nick was embarrassed and down on himself for having that happen because of who and what he is

What was it that made Juliette's woging so hard was not revulsion, it was complete shame feelings of his utter failure to protect the woman he loved

I am not saying that Nick and Adalind will get together at all, however, the plot devices are there:

Adalind, love starved, looking for "true love" with a "good man"

Nick, conscientious, strong sense of duty, does his level best to "do the right thing", an orphan (he grew up as one) who would never leave a child of his behind

That's not hypocritical, that's called life

As for Adalind, she's a witch with a capital B. I don't trust her but Nick had no choice. Juliette made it for him when she rejected him
