While I think the last statement may be true, I believe Nick and Juliette would have struggled to maintain their relationship for much longer regardless. Hexenbiest Juliette was finally venting over all the crap that happened between them, basically since Nick became a Grimm. Juliette had bottled up too much and the hexenbiest simply let it all out in the most destructive way imaginable. While he was powerless, you saw just how disconnected they had grown with what they desired for their relationship. Juliette was making way too many sacrifices for Nick and it finally came to head. Finding out about Adalind being pregnant with Nick's baby, would have broken the camel's back just the same, so instead of betraying Kelly and burning the trailer, she would have simply packed her bags and left. At least that's what I wanted for her, for the sake of her sanity. I'm not a great fan of the Juliette/Nick relationship, but then I'm not a fan of the Nick/Adalind relationship either. I will say that while Nick and Juliette were never portrayed as a great loving couple, they often shined as a couple. I can see why you think there was a disconnect when Nick lost his powers, but I see it differently. If such a disconnect occurred, Juliette would have never offered to sacrifice herself to give Nick his powers back. That actually shows a real connection between the couple. The writers decided to throw a wrench into the works by making Juliette turn hexenbiest, but who knows what would have happened had she just remained human.
