The majority of what Juliette has suffered through has been initiated by Adalind and/or through her proximity to Nick.

The magical coma, the memory loss, the infatuation with Renard, being cheated on via magic, being turned into a Hexenbeist... All that was Adalind.

Being abucted by the dragon chick and getting threatened by various other wessen over the series and being targeted by Adalind to begin with... That was Nick ignoring his Aunt's advice to leave Juliette before his identity as a Grimm made his friends and family targets.

The turning on Nick and her former friends, the betrayal of Mama Kelly, the attempt on Nick's life... That was Juliette.

The fact that Adalind and Nick ended up together at all was due to their child. And little Kelly is the direct result of Adalind raping Nick which by extension was an additional betrayal of Juliette. Nick's refusal to seek vengence on Adalind once he knew of the child seemed to be the last straw for the relationship as far as Juliette was concerned.

Things are so messy that I have trouble seeing stabble relationships emerging from the rubble. The only foundation that is solid here is Nick's desire to protect the innocent (Kelly) and spare his child losing a parent like he did. He has been willing to change everything to further these goals. To that end, he will stick with Adalind for Kelly's sake despite Adalind's history with him and her poor choice of taking Kelly with her to be with Diana. The only thing that could bend or break his resolve would be Evette.

Evette will remain a massive emotional weakness for him. He knows her fate came from his failure to protect her from his nature and the world he was part of. His guilt is what kept him from embracing her hexenbeist conversion and kept him from being able to fight back when she came to kill him. That guilt and his old feelings for her mixed in with his sense of betrayal due to her part in his mother's murder, Juliette's death and resurrection as Eve, and finally her Stick induced change into Evette (speculated) will keep his mind divided. And due to the current seperation of Adalind and Nick, Evette and Nick are likely to end up going through their darkest emotional journeys in close proximity. Which is likely to create emotional bonds that could reconstitute some mutated form of their relationship. Its going to get weird.

Kelly and Diana will ultimately be the core of any relationships that shake out of this crazy bucket of emotional spaghetti.
