E559 Ask Nick - DNA Tests Revealed Mom’s...

Nick Viall
About this episode

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 is having some sister drama before an upcoming wedding. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission, courtesy of Amanda’s personal vault. Our first caller took DNA tests with her sister only to find out that they don’t share the same dad. However, because her sister and her mother aren’t on speaking terms, it’s up to her to bring this to her mother and get answers. Our next caller is wondering if she should go on a date with a man who broke her heart ten years ago. Is it fate that they came back into each other’s lives, or is he just stringing her along? Our final caller is wondering if she should break up with her long term boyfriend because he might be a fuckboy. We discuss why he’s still in communication, and if fuckboys can ever really change. 

“The ego isn’t always a bad thing.”
