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 discuss the surprisingly high percentage of doctors and nurses that cheat on their partners, and whether or not you should give up your seat on an airplane so families can sit together. We then read a written submission–Our writer is in a new relationship with a gentleman, a rarity for her after a string of toxic men. However, she recently ran into said toxic ex, and is worried she’ll fall back into old patterns and ruin things with her new guy by re-exploring her past. Then, we get to our callers. 

Our first caller was ghosted three times by someone who conned her out of over $1,000, but she can’t stop thinking about what they could have been. This mutual friend, who she never actually met in person, convinced her to send him money to invest in stocks. After three years, she’s not sure if she’ll ever see that money, or him. Our second caller’s partner’s situational health issues have been affecting her attraction to him. She has been very patient, but doesn’t feel he’s putting as much effort into being his best self as she is into supporting him. She’s not sure on how to get through to him on this topic. Our final caller took back her boyfriend after he proposed to her when they were broken up, but is questioning her sanity now. She wants to end the relationship, again, but is worried about taking away a father figure for her children. 

“You have created a fantasy in your head about this guy.”
