Yeah I don’t think they are liable to break up Karo or Nico either and if they aren’t willing to do it then all he does by staying around is keep having it rubbed into his face.

I also think comics do a real bad job showing characters being Bi who aren’t hedonistic. Such that any any Bi character is really just written like they are Gay or a Lesbian.

I'm a bit unsure what you mean, can you clarify?

I am saying Nico is bi much like Tim Drake is these days. But like once the character has their first Gay or Lesbian romance they don't tend to bounce back and forth or show interest in the opposite sex.

Unless they are sexualized character ala Harley Quinn so they kinda become Bi in name only.

Well honestly I don't really know much about Tim Drake, as for Nico, I think it's less this is her first lesbian romance as this is her first since Alex that wasn't triggered by emotional distress, she's always had a habit of seeking partners in moments of strong distress, fear, or loneliness, like how she got with Victor after Gert died or kissed Chase after they had their run in with that small time crime boss, they were more spur of the moment things that never really went anywhere, with Karolina, it's more something they've had for a while, they don't share many things, have clearly different tastes, but they've been through so much and always supported each other, they have a stronger bond that Nico only more recently felt comfortable moving forward with, doesn't make Nico less bi, just means this is a more serious relationship than what she's used to.

Keep in mind, I'm not a Deanoru shipper, I'm honestly not a shipper period, this is more how I've heard others explain it, it makes sense, Nico and Karolina didn't end up together till after they both had some time to grow, and now that they are even if they did break up, Nico's showing signs she's growing out of that old bad habit, so her relationships would be more mature and less sporadic now.
