E692 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Isn't Toxic Enough Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener whose boyfriend cheated on her with a stripper. He's done this with multiple girls, but is willing to 'work on himself.' What should she do? Then, we get to our callers…

Our first caller isn't sure whether her long term boyfriend is the one. After almost 3 years and his push to move forward… she's no longer sure of the relationship. Our second caller's friend accused her boyfriend of using her for her car. Without defending himself, he broke up with her on facetime and said 'I'm not 100% going to be a boyfriend for you right now.' Our final caller's best friend confessed his love to her, right after she gave birth to her 3rd child. Her baby daddy is jealous of this friend, while she is intrigued by their chemistry.

"You are simply not appreciating what you have with him."

E690 Ask Nick - Teachers Gone Wild / My Cheating Past Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener who plans to get married, but her future brother-in-law refuses to attend the ceremony because it's not in a church.

Then, we get to our callers.

Our first caller hasn't told her fiance that her last divorce was due to her own infidelity. She shares her guilt and is afraid he'll leave her after she breaks the news. Our second caller has her first crush on another girl… and she happens to be her coworker. She's dropped hints with little success and wants to know if she should make a move at their upcoming Christmas party. Our final caller has only been on 3 dates in 5 years. Is it her high standards, is it because she lives in a small town, or is it because she's a f*ck boy?

"To connect with people, you have to be willing to get to know them. You have to be vulnerable with them, and hope that they'll be vulnerable with you. That's how you make a connection."

E686 Ask Nick - His "Freedom," Our Crying Child Jan 02, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener who's ex-boyfriend, now situationship, introduces her to all of his family, but keeps putting their relationship on pause when things start getting serious.

Then, we get to our callers.

Our first caller's boyfriend will stay out longer when he's by himself than when they go out together. She expresses her insecurities and experiences with the quality of their time together. Our second caller's husband turned off his location during an argument, and is now refusing to turn it back on. She stays home with the kids for days, while he's constantly at work and with friends late. Our final caller "feels like a single mom with a husband." As a trucker, he loves the freedom of being on the road, but our caller has to constantly remind him of their crying child and what tasks to do around the house.

"The fact that he refuses to acknowledge that is not a me problem. It's a him problem."

E685 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 15 Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have another special "where are they now" update show where we give you updates from our past callers to see what's happened in their situations and relationships since appearing on the show.

We bring on our first caller who had originally called in about a guy friend who was getting a little too close to be 'just friends.' Our caller sent a text, and we find out on this call whether he's gay or just friendly. Our second caller first called in because she broke up her engagement, but was missing her ex. We discover how she's set her boundaries of needing full clarity, and his efforts to hold her back. Our third caller, who we've seen many times, first called in for giving too many blowjobs, with no pleasure in return. She updates us on trying to pursue genuine relationships over empty sexual interactions. Oh, and someone has a penis infection?!

We also have some written updates - our caller whose boyfriend's business was ruining her relationship, our caller who's dating someone her sister had a threesome with, and our caller who's friend wouldn't stop kissing her baby on the lips.

To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:

Original Episode numbers for callers:

Episode 681: Ask Nick with Lewis Howes - She Slept With My Roommate
Episode 669: Ask Nick - I Need to Stop a Wedding in 2 Weeks

E684 Ask Nick - Bl*wjobs and Santa Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener who's wondering if she should confront the guy she's dating over following a ton of naked girls.

Then, we get to our callers.

Our first caller's landlord is cheating on her girlfriend, and our caller is wondering if she should tell her. For context, the landlord's previous relationship broke up due to infidelity as well… but is it our caller's place to step in? Our second caller hasn't found love nor dated anyone since coming out. He's not into the hookup experiences of gay culture, and last dated a woman. Our final caller is looking for advice on how to return her ex's things. This was a year long situationship, that ended when she saw him with another girl at the bar. She's afraid he'll beg for her back.

"Sometimes breakups have to be black or white."

Show notes

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, Nick got some insider information on Taylor and Travis - did Travis ask Scott for his blessing? Did he buy her a 100k ring? Did he throw her a no-expense-spared birthday party? Then today, we are joined by Rachel Lindsay to talk about her decision to leave Extra, her marriage with Bryan, how 2023 has treated her and what she's looking forward to in 2024. We also dive into various Housewives franchises and get some insider information from Rachel, who moderated several panels at Bravocon this year. Then, we get her opinions on Vanderpump Rules, Scandoval, and Tom and Ariana's living situation.
