E627 Ask Nick - How to Save My Parent'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 discuss August Birthdays (spoiler alert–two members of the Household have birthdays coming up), and if it's simply too hot to have sex in the summer. We also read a submission from someone who is trying to have a "Sex Goddess Summer." She wants to know how to toe the line between having casual sex, and not being treated like an object. We then get to our callers. 

Our first caller is engaged, but has changed her mind about having kids. Her fiance really wants children, but she's worried she may not want them on his timeline, or at all. Our second caller is not ready to move in with her boyfriend. After only 6 months of dating, she's worried moving in already would seem too soon to friends and family. Our final caller wants to save her parent's marriage. Her father recently cheated on her mom, but refuses to talk about it, so our caller is wondering how to get through his emotional stonewalling and see if she can repair the damages to her family. 

"Shame is a powerful tool."
