E659 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 13
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 was debating shooting her shot with someone who had ghosted her 2 years ago. We had encouraged her to reach out to him when she was in his area again, and find out if her messages were well-received. Our second caller had first called in because she was deciding whether she should break up with her boyfriend or not. We pushed her to talk to him about their compatibility, and find out if they’re still together. Our third caller had originally called in because bl*wjobs were ending her dates. We gave her the advice of taking things slow and being more selfish in dating, and find out how her dating life has progressed since then. We also have some written updates - Our caller whose best friend was cheating on her boyfriend, our caller who was wondering how to save his relationship after cheating, and our caller who needed help getting her husband to sign their divorce papers.

E653 Ask Nick with Eli Rallo - My Situationship Wants Me to Take His Virginity
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. This week, we are joined by special guest Eli Rallo for relationship and dating advice. Before getting to our callers, Eli discusses her new book I Didn’t Know I Needed This, which outlines the lifespan of a relationship. She also shares her two favorite dating tips. We then get to our callers. Our first caller ran into an old friend at a wedding, and isn’t sure if she was reading his cues right, and should try and ask him out. We help her craft a message to send to him. Our second caller’s situationship/coworker asked her to take his virginity, and it went “horrifically.” She has feelings for him, and is wondering how to remedy the awkward situation, and make her feelings known to him. Our final caller’s girlfriend said “I love you” after only a few weeks of dating, and she didn’t say it back. This is her first healthy relationship, so she’s worried she won’t be sure when she’ll know she’s there. “We love that for 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.

E650 Ask Nick - How Do I Save My Relationship After Cheating?
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 bed-times and how many hours we need each night to not be crabby. We also read a submission from someone who got a Navy Diver’s number, and needs help crafting a message. We then get to our callers. Our first caller needs help deciding if she should break up with her boyfriend. The relationship is going very well, and her friends and family love him, but she can’t help but feel like something’s missing. Our second caller’s boyfriend seems to be going through a quarter-life crisis, but she’s not sure if she’s the crisis. After 5 years together, he recently told her he’s not sure if he wants to get married, have children, or be in a relationship at all. She’s not sure if these sentiments are true, or if he’s just aging. Our final caller is wondering how to save his relationship after cheating. His girlfriend recently moved out, forcing him to return home across the country, so he’s wondering if he can salvage his relationship, and how. “Relationships take f*cking work, man.” 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.
