E611 Ask Nick - My Father-In-Law Berates Me Jul 17, 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 the Jonah Hill situation and the trend of people weaponizing "therapy-speak" for their own benefit. We also get into a written Ask Nick topic where our caller talks about struggling to have a healthy relationship with her boyfriend's family, with her partner putting pressure on her instead of stepping up. We then get to our callers.

Our first caller is struggling to deal with her in-laws. After being with her now-husband for 9-years, she feels she knows his family incredibly well, and is frustrated that her father-in-law has been openly berating her. Our second caller's boyfriend recently broke up with her over text, claiming he's not ready for a real relationship. They said they'd check in throughout the summer and re-assess their relationship in a few months, and she's wondering if she should wait around or move on. Our final caller's long distance boyfriend recently told her he's losing feelings for her. She still loves and respects him, but doesn't feel as though she's being made a priority and isn't sure whether the relationship is salvageable after so much distance.

"All this energy you're using thinking about him is energy you're taking away from yourself."

Then, we are joined by Scott Evans to talk about his role in the upcoming Barbie movie, what filming was like, and his thoughts on Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Will Ferrell. We also ask him about his current relationships with his boyfriend and his siblings - and get some great childhood stories about his brother Chris. We then have a Sweating the Wedding caller who isn't sure if she should fire her bridesmaid after finding out she cheated on her brother - while the bride is pro-fire, her mother is adamantly against it.

E608 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Hates That I Lost My Sex Drive After Giving Birth Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

Our first caller needs help on how to deal with her s*xting buddy after he sent her an unsolicited d*ck-in-hand shot. She wants to know how to end things, since he has her nudes on his phone. Our second callers are recently engaged and struggling to deal with an invasive mother/in-law. As a mother of an only child, she wants to know every detail of her son's life, but often twists the information to use against his fiance. The couple are unsure how to set boundaries, and make she follows through. Our final caller's boyfriend is frustrated that she's lost her sex drive after having their child. She would love to discuss this issue with a couple's counselor, but her partner is very resistant to go after a bad experience with an ex.

"Mom likes the drama."

E605 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Fakes His Orgasms Jul 03, 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 Goodnight Ettique between romantic partners. Should there be an expectation to receive and send a goodnight text? If so, at what stage in the relationship is that expectation established? We then share our Breakup Song of the Week.

Our first caller recently discovered her boyfriend flipped the script and has been faking his orgasms. She isn't sure how to broach the topic without making him feel even more insecure. Our second caller can't understand why she keeps getting ghosted by her close female friends. This self-proclaimed "guy's girl" wants more female friendships, but can't figure out why these women keep cutting her out of their lives. Our final caller can't get over her dream guy - a 40-year old virgin who's waiting for marriage but can't seem to find the perfect woman to finally do it with.

"He's a Christian trapped in a F*ck Boy's body."

E604 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 9 Jun 30, 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 father broke up their family to date the woman his son had been interested in. After speaking with his father, was he able to mend the relationship, or had far too much happened to be able to repair the damage? Our second caller was considering firing her maid of honor in her wedding after feeling like she wasn't a priority. We find out if the MOH is still in the wedding and the status of their friendship. Our third caller was scared to break up with her boyfriend of nearly five years, since she knew he wouldn't see it coming. There had been many existing problems in their relationship, with the culminating incident being that he didn't want to go to a wedding with her where he wouldn't know anyone, making her feel like she wasn't fun enough to make his experience enjoyable. Did she finally have the courage to leave him?

We also have some written updates - our caller who was trying to define her situationship, and our caller who was in love with her childhood best friend and wanted to know if he felt the same.

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