E631 Ask Nick - How Do We Give Up Our 6-Year Situationship Aug 28, 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 discuss whether or not you ask waiters for their opinions on the menu, and parenting strategies in bringing up "the birds and the bees." We also read a submission from someone who thinks she may want to be an F Boy. As a single divorced mother, her life is very fulfilled. Except for one thing–sex. She doesn't want a relationship, and is wondering how to fulfill her sex life while still being a good parent. We then get to our callers.

Our first caller is moving in with her ex who won't speak to her. In a few weeks, she'll be studying abroad through her grad program, and living in a house with 20 other students, including her ex who hates her. Our second caller's person left to find herself in London. Fresh off the devastating breakup from someone she dated for a year, and has known since they've been children, she's unsure whether to keep the friendship in the hope of rekindling one day, or cutting off communication. Our final callers have been in a 6 year long-distance situationship and can't seem to fully commit or break it off. He is currently in a relationship, but they plan to see each other this weekend. They don't want to cross that line, but can't seem to cut ties fully with each other.

"We have to prioritize the quality of someone wanting to be with us."

E630 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 11 Aug 25, 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 whose boyfriend was faking his orgasms. We encouraged her to initiate a conversation surrounding sex, and find out if her towels are still bone dry, or if he was able to confront the issue. Our second caller was wondering whether she should shoot her shot with someone who ghosted her two years ago. She was going to be in his area, and we urged her to reach out just to see. We see what his response was, or if he ghosted yet again. Our third caller had originally called in regarding a text requesting a "romantic tryst" with her, but has since started to date women and exhibit some toxic dating habits. She calls in this time after reconnecting with her ex and realizing she may be addicted to drama.

We also have some written updates - Our caller whose boyfriend had an ex wife from hell, our caller who was turned off by her partner's lack of ambition, and our caller who was debating firing the bridesmaid that cheated on her brother.

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

E627 Ask Nick - How to Save My Parent's Marriage Aug 21, 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 discuss August Birthdays (spoiler alert–two members of the Household have birthdays coming up), and if it's simply too hot to have sex in the summer. We also read a submission from someone who is trying to have a "Sex Goddess Summer." She wants to know how to toe the line between having casual sex, and not being treated like an object. We then get to our callers.

Our first caller is engaged, but has changed her mind about having kids. Her fiance really wants children, but she's worried she may not want them on his timeline, or at all. Our second caller is not ready to move in with her boyfriend. After only 6 months of dating, she's worried moving in already would seem too soon to friends and family. Our final caller wants to save her parent's marriage. Her father recently cheated on her mom, but refuses to talk about it, so our caller is wondering how to get through his emotional stonewalling and see if she can repair the damages to her family.

"Shame is a powerful tool."

E624 Ask Nick - Falling For My Prison Penpal Aug 14, 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 discuss what your favorite color says about your love life. Are you a wonderful lover? Or emotionally detached? We dive into all the colors of the rainbow and more. We also read a submission from someone who's boyfriend still hasn't said "I love you" after three years of dating. We then get to our callers.

Our first caller is catching feelings for her prison pen pal. After coming across his videos on TikTok, they've been messaging and video-chatting for months. She now has the opportunity to visit him in-person in jail, and is wondering if she should follow through or not. Our second caller is worried she'll get back together with her revenge situationship. Her ex-husband is getting re-married soon, and it looks like everything is going right for him. She's anxious her jealousy and loneliness will drive her back into the arms of her toxic ex, and is wondering how to overcome these feelings. Our final callers are getting married in a month, and just had their matron of honor and best man dump them. The dumping seemingly came out of nowhere, and they're not sure if they're the problem or not.
