I dont really view them in the same way and I don't think Jack deserved what she did and said. After the incident with Chloe, Harry went looking for a further fight with Jack. He's not her in house 'boyfriend love rabbit' so he doesn't really have to put up with her ****. He was hurt because a close friend said he was untrustworthy in her eyes. He is entitled to have feelings and express them. I don't have any problems with him passing comment or complaining about nomination reasons, he isn't the only one to do it, many of them do it, no one really likes it, particularly Joel, but Jack is the one constantly vilified for it. I think it's fairly human to question criticism.

Going back to Harry and Nick he's very young and her mood swings must be hard to deal with and we can't deny she's moody. I dont think he has the experience or emotional range to deal with her but that isn't necessarily a bad thing or fault, I think a lot of people would struggle with such a volatile partner. I don't think love or close friendship means you must agree with the other person even when they behave badly relationships don't work like that and often its the people we are closest to who call us on our ****. As to cuddles sometimes we just need a bit of space after high drama and its not the time for kissing and making up. I don't think Nick was deliberately trying to make her look bad, honestly I think she manages that quite well on her own. I think he genuinely just wanted a break and probably didn't put much more thought into it than that.
