I'm more or less on the same page. Nick's pretty logical and quite focussed on his successful job (read: grift), and I imagine he'd just see life and job as being easier if he just continues to hand wave this shit away while mostly keeping his distance from Ralph. I'm quietly confident he thinks much the same as we do about Ralph, but you never know. That is unless he were to publicly speak out, of course, which would be nice. It will just be business as usual though. I get it. I don't like it but I get it. For me some of the most interesting and engaging stuff he has spoken about are his religious/personal beliefs and how he raises his family, so he loses a little bit of my respect each time this kind of 'scandal' is handwaved away.
I mean Godwinson isn't wrong. She's a serial liar about physical/sexual abuse, both for generic attention and in specific circumstances in order to manipulate people. Accusing Ralph of choking her (dw guys she has a picture of the bruise, as yet unseen, just like when daddy beat her!) achieves both of those goals. The evidence for that claim is very murky, unlike Ralph and Pantsu trying to set up their clown world sex house. I have very few doubts those messages are real, however they are specifically very skint on the 'OMG I can't believe you tried to choke me out' kind of details. Maybe they're in another 'evidence drop', maybe it never got talked about in detail (rolls eyes), or maybe it's simply bullshit.
