The Viall Files

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 read an email from a listener who's ex-boyfriend, now situationship, introduces her to all of his family, but keeps putting their relationship on pause when things start getting serious. Then, we get to our callers. Our first caller's boyfriend will stay out longer when he's by himself than when they go out together. She expresses her insecurities and experiences with the quality of their time together. Our second caller's husband turned off his location during an argument, and is now refusing to turn it back on. She stays home with the kids for days, while he's constantly at work and with friends late. Our final caller "feels like a single mom with a husband." As a trucker, he loves the freedom of being on the road, but our caller has to constantly remind him of their crying child and what tasks to do around the house. "The fact that he refuses to acknowledge that is not a me problem. It's a him problem."

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 about a guy friend who was getting a little too close to be 'just friends.' Our caller sent a text, and we find out on this call whether he's gay or just friendly. Our second caller first called in because she broke up her engagement, but was missing her ex. We discover how she's set her boundaries of needing full clarity, and his efforts to hold her back. Our third caller, who we've seen many times, first called in for giving too many blowjobs, with no pleasure in return. She updates us on trying to pursue genuine relationships over empty sexual interactions. Oh, and someone has a penis infection?! We also have some written updates - our caller whose boyfriend's business was ruining her relationship, our caller who's dating someone her sister had a threesome with, and our caller who's friend wouldn't stop kissing her baby on the lips. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode 681: Ask Nick with Lewis Howes - She Slept With My Roommate Episode 669: Ask Nick - I Need to Stop a Wedding in 2 Weeks Episode 659: Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 13 (Original appearance on Episode 583 Vanderpump Recap with Gabby Windey) Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode 666: Ask Nick - My Gay BFF Is in Love With Me Episode 646: Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 12 (Original appearance on Episode 640 Ask Nick - Everyone Caught Feelings During Threesome) Episode 629: Going Deeper w Teddi Mellencamp Plus Bethenny's Cause, Scooter Braun's Loss & Taylor Swift's "Don't create situations just for the sake of it."

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 read an email from a listener who's wondering if she should confront the guy she's dating over following a ton of naked girls. Then, we get to our callers. Our first caller's landlord is cheating on her girlfriend, and our caller is wondering if she should tell her. For context, the landlord's previous relationship broke up due to infidelity as well… but is it our caller's place to step in? Our second caller hasn't found love nor dated anyone since coming out. He's not into the hookup experiences of gay culture, and last dated a woman. Our final caller is looking for advice on how to return her ex's things. This was a year long situationship, that ended when she saw him with another girl at the bar. She's afraid he'll beg for her back. "Sometimes breakups have to be black or white."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, Nick got some insider information on Taylor and Travis - did Travis ask Scott for his blessing? Did he buy her a 100k ring? Did he throw her a no-expense-spared birthday party? Then today, we are joined by Rachel Lindsay to talk about her decision to leave Extra, her marriage with Bryan, how 2023 has treated her and what she's looking forward to in 2024. We also dive into various Housewives franchises and get some insider information from Rachel, who moderated several panels at Bravocon this year. Then, we get her opinions on Vanderpump Rules, Scandoval, and Tom and Ariana's living situation. Finally, we have a Texting Office Hours caller who met a guy at a party, got his number from a friend, and now isn't sure how to ask him out. "As Kris Jenner says, there's no such thing as bad publicity."

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 read an email from a listener who recently had a gender reveal/surprise wedding, only to have her husband party the night away and not come to bed with her. Then, we get to our callers. Our first caller's husband would rather spend time with deer than her. She's only seen him twice in the last month, and is wondering whether their marriage is salvageable, or whether she should call it quits. Our second caller is wondering whether she should stop waiting for her long-distance situationship to ask her out, and just do it herself. She's tried to get him to commit before, but he used distance as an excuse, so she's unsure how to convince him to give them a shot despite the commute. Our final caller's parents want her to break up with her boyfriend once she graduates college, but she's not sure if she should. It's the healthiest relationship she's been in, but he's not as driven as her, so she's trying to decide what is more important in a relationship. "The more confident you sound, the more he'll be scared he can't live without you."
