The Viall Files

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 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.

We discover if she’s finally found a new gym, or if she couldn’t work out healthier dating choices.

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.

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 Birthday Party themes, what we love about Ali, and 5-year plans. We also read a submission from someone who can’t get past icks. Is it possible to move on from an ick? And what are icks, really? We then get to our callers.  Our first caller’s cousin has been hitting on her. Since becoming estranged from their family, he’s been messaging her on Facebook that he’s always been attracted to her and thinks they should date. However, recently he’s been making amends, and has been invited to a family wedding. She’s anxious to see him and unsure how to interact in person. Our second caller is considering getting back together with her ex. They dated for 3 years, and broke up 5 years ago, and is wondering if he’s changed enough to be able to start again but make it work this time. Our final caller is wondering how to stop being the girl before the girlfriend. She has fallen into a pattern where the men she’s in situationships with immediately jump into relationships right after her. She’s not sure whether it’s the men she’s choosing to invest in, or if she herself is just not ready for a relationship.  “You don’t fall into a situationship. You accept a situationship.”  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 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.”  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 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.

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.”  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.
