Nick never had the question of who he wanted in his bed, he knew he was gay. When the time came for him to settle down, unfortunately he confused the friendship of Josie for what he wanted. Josie didn't make it easy for him. It was unfair to for her to say he cheated. He never would do that to Josie. In the end, making Josie into a lover cost him everything. He lost his best friend, and the cherished friends he made when they sided with Josie. He had cut James out of his life completely rather than take a chance on hurting Josie and in the end James was still willing to take a gamble and put it all on the table. Josie finally got her man, children and the life she wanted, but she never fully got over Nick and still was trying to punish him. I hope they both found the happiness they needed. Nicely handled Val.
