E728 Ask Nick - Roommates Bangin, Doors Open
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Before we get to our callers, we play a new game of ‘Guess Who’ where Nick guesses which Household Member did what… Our first caller is a soon-to-be bride, and her bridesmaids don't want to stay for the whole bachelorette party. She participated in all of their weddings, and wants to nicely encourage them to do the same in return. Our second caller has ‘unwanted’ roommates who have sex with the door open. She’s not very good at confrontation and is wondering if this is worth pressing. Our final caller has been on 10 dates with a guy who doesn't want to touch her. He’s ready to “send it,” but now she’s cringing. Is she wrong for wanting to move on? “The more uncomfortable you are with confrontation, the more people will walk all over you” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://viallfiles.supportingcast.fm/ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E727 Ask Nick Update Special Episode - Part 18
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. But wait… first we discuss controversial parenting tactics! Our first caller originally called in for Dr. Phil’s advice! Her partner was going to prison for his 3rd DUI, and she was wondering if she should break up with him. She has since found out that he was cheating on her, and has thus broken up. Our second caller had first called in because she caught her ex cheating through a security camera, and was having a hard time moving on. He is now married to his ex, and she is now in a much better place, mentally. Our third caller had originally called in because her mom wouldn’t accept her leaving the church. There have been conversations with her parents since, and there’s a new approach to setting boundaries. We also have some written updates - Our caller whose boyfriend cheated on her with his cousin, and our caller who didn't approve of her best friend's cheating escapades. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: 718 Ask Nick with Dr. Phil - He’s Going to Prison, Should We Date Episode Number: 699 Ask Nick - Caught Cheating in 4k Episode Number: 705 Ask Nick - My Coworker Won’t Stop Flirting With Me Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: 637 Ask Nick My Boyfriend’s Emotional Affair With His Cousin Episode Number: 659 Ask Nick - Should I End My Marriage?
