E566 Ask Nick - My BFF Flirts With My Hu...

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 talk about read receipts with romantic partners, and read an email from a listener who is harboring resentment toward her mom’s friend, who tried to set her up with a nurse while her mother was passing away. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. 

Our first caller has a best friend that is constantly flirting with her husband, both in front of her and when she’s not around. We discuss how she can put an end to the physical advances and commentary surrounding looks and attraction. Our second caller is wondering if she should forgive her father figure who lied to her family, split up with her mom, and is quickly dating someone new. After losing her biological father and step father earlier in life, she’s wondering if it’s worth keeping him in her life albeit under different circumstances. Our final caller split from her boyfriend but is still best friends with his sister. However, she’s been uninvited from birthday parties and family events because of the break up. How does she remain close with her friend if they won’t allow her in the same room as her ex? 

“You can have a relationship with someone you’re angry with.”
