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 check-in with Ali, who just moved back home to Minnesota. We also read a submission from a writer-iner who is married, but has a crush on her coworker. She's been lacking a spark with her husband, and wants to know if there is any harm in an innocent crush to fill that void. We then get to our callers. Our first caller's gay best friend is in love with her. He's been confessing his feelings to their friend group and it's making her extremely uncomfortable. She's not sure where these feelings are coming from, or how to address them. Our second caller worries her boyfriend's job is ruining their relationship. Her boyfriend owns a business and dedicates practically all his time to that, leaving our caller to feel unwanted and unloved. He's never reassured her that he wants to be with her long term, so she's not sure why she's sticking it out. Our final caller can't move on from her situationship. This is their second time situationing, yet there has still been no progress to an actual relationship. She's wondering if there's any hope, or if not, how she can possibly let go. "The only way to save this is to break up with him."

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 jobs we missed out on and a restaurant's policy on charging a surcharge for "bad parenting." We also read a submission from a writer-iner who asked a friend to be a flower girl in her wedding. She's having a small wedding party, and wanted to include her work friend and thought this would be a nice way to do so. However, the friend was aghast at the suggestion of being a 27-year old flower girl. We then get to our callers. Our first caller wants to break up with her boyfriend, but hasn't yet because she's not sure how to handle the financial component. She's currently unemployed as she studies for the BAR exam, so he pays for most aspects in her life, but she's not sure if she can continue in the relationship despite this. Our second callers are wondering if they should continue their pattern of being unhinged, and get married. They've only been dating for a year and have already hit many relationship milestones, like moving in together and potentially buying a house. They're wondering if they should hit the next milestone by getting married in order to obtain a Visa. Our final caller has a crush on her male friend, and is trying to figure out if he's into her. Their mutual friend group is going on a trip soon, and they'll be sharing a hotel room, and she wants to start putting out feelers if he might be interested in being more than friends. We help her craft an Instagram DM to send to him. "This is a classic #BookTok scenario."

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.
