E469 Ask Nick - He Divorced Me For The Nanny
Today we're back with another exciting episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're here again to answer your questions about navigating relationships and situationships. Our first caller shares that she is having a hard time setting boundaries with her ex-husband since their marriage ended mostly due to him having an affair with their nanny, yet never admitting to it while they were married. She wonders how to move past this and be grateful for her new lease on life while also managing having to co-parent with her ex. Our next caller is concerned for her best friend as our caller finds her new boyfriend to be disrespectful of boundaries and constantly pressuring them both. She loves her friend and asks how to best support her while also telling her about her concerns while not pushing her away due to her distrust and dislike of this guy. Our last caller is very comfortable in her home town with family and a great job she's worked hard at. Yet, she wonders if she is just letting her life and opportunities for love pass her by in staying there versus moving away and trying to expand her horizons. "It can be addicting to feel bad."

We also dive into setting boundaries while dating with a kid, how they never talk about The Bachelorette's profession, and how valid the concept of a life changing cruise is.

E466 Ask Nick - Got Married Behind My Best Friend's Back
Today we're back with another exciting episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're here again to bring on our callers to help them answer their questions and navigate their relationships, situationships, and everything in between. We welcome on our first caller who wonders if she's doing the right thing after leaving a relationship with a guy after finding out that he was following thousands of Instagram accounts of women in their underwear. After her confrontation goes poorly and he starts following more girls, she reflects on the situation and wonders if she handled this really strange situation properly. Our next caller found love and got married during covid but has yet to tell his best friend and wonders how to tell him without causing his friend to react poorly for being kept in the dark about a major life event. He acknowledges that there will be repercussions, but knows that being honest is the best approach to retain the friendship. Our last caller has been on a bunch of great dates with a guy and wants to know if it's a good time to tell him she wants it to be more. She wonders how long is long enough to pop these questions and if taking this step might scare people away. "He gave you closure, you just have to see it that way."

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by TikTok Star and Influencer, Ellie Zeiler! On this new episode of Going Deeper we dive deep with our guest, asking about her recent breakup, how social media has made moving on worse, how dating is a lot more complicated when you're an influencer, the best places to find people to date, and why it's important to work on yourself not just when you're single. We also dive into some pop culture news, talking about Sofia Vergara leaking the wedding of Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland, the shocking divorces from Love Is Blind alumni, and the breaking news that Christine Quinn will be leaving Selling Sunset and how this split will probably be better for her. We then welcome on two Texting Office Hours callers where our first caller wants help with shooting her shot with a guy that she thinks she has a 50% chance of success with. But after not hanging out with him for a while, she wonders how she can ask him out on a date without seeming like she cares too much. Our second caller wonders how to deal with a girl she's been talking to, who only seems to text our caller when she's bored. Worried that this person may be a catfish, we help our caller build up the courage to test this person by asking them to meet at a local coffee shop, deciding to block them if they flake.

But after temporarily moving to the Netherlands to be closer to him and getting mixed messages, she asks if she should just focus on her independence in Europe versus worrying just about this guy.
