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 talk Nick’s butt, Dave & Buster’s, and helicopter parents. We also read a submission from someone who wants to shoot their shot with their neighbor but isn’t sure what to do. We have an extremely in depth discussion on various tactics she could use. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller is dating the man she wants to marry, who never wants to get married. As the child of parents who had a messy divorce, our caller’s partner doesn’t want to repeat mistakes, but our caller is certain marriage is something she needs in a long-term relationship. She’s not sure if one of them will compromise, or if she’ll have to walk away. Our second caller is wondering if she’s self sabotaging her relationship, or if he’s just not her person. She’s only been in this relationship for a month, but has known this person for 6 years, and feels that there is something off. She wants to know if she’s overthinking it, or if it’s something deeper. Our final caller is not sure whether she should make things work with the father of her child, or give up once and for all. She’s not able to support herself and would have to move back home if they broke up, but she doesn’t know if the relationship is salvageable.  “*Cough cough* Kevin Costner’s ex-wife.”  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.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

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 everyone’s favorite part of a wedding–the vows. We also read a submission from someone who has questions about casual dating etiquette. She has been seeing someone for five months, who’s recently started to send her “I miss you” texts. She’s unsure whether she should communicate her dating expectations, or whether that’d be too presumptuous. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller’s boyfriend is nice to everyone, but her. She’s unhappy in her relationship and how he treats her, but they share children together so she wants to know if the relationship is salvageable at all. Our second caller’s boyfriend recently broke up with her because he said he wasn’t attracted to her, but wants to make things work again. He’s offered to go to couples therapy with her, but she’s not confident if her ego can get past his words. Our final caller is trying to decide between her husband and her first love. She’s unhappy in her marriage, but has kept communication open with her first love, and isn’t sure if she wants to work on her marriage, or leave him to rekindle a past romance.  “If you don’t prioritize being connected and staying connected, you won’t.”  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.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

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 Adventures of Ali: Atlanta Edition, and read a submission from a writer-iner whose boyfriend wants his mom to move in with them two months before their baby is due. During her pregnancy, his mom has been invasive of her personal space, which she deeply wants to cherish before her baby is born. She is deeply against her staying with them, but can’t seem to get through to her boyfriend. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller needs help setting boundaries with her mom and her relationship. Her mother has been in a toxic on-and-off-again relationship, and shares constant unwanted reports with our caller. Our second caller was involved in a threesome where everyone caught feelings. She hooked up with her friend, and her friend’s f buddy, and now wants to confess her newfound feelings for the f buddy, but is worried about upsetting her friend, who has already confessed feelings for our caller. Our final caller is considering cutting off her boyfriend’s toxic family. After years of failed attempts to have a healthy relationship with them, she’s not sure if it’s past the point of boundary setting, or if she and her boyfriend need to cut ties for good.  “Being happy is better than being right.”  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.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.
