E640 Ask Nick - Everyone Caught Feelings...

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 the Adventures of Ali: Atlanta Edition, and read a submission from a writer-iner whose boyfriend wants his mom to move in with them two months before their baby is due. During her pregnancy, his mom has been invasive of her personal space, which she deeply wants to cherish before her baby is born. She is deeply against her staying with them, but can’t seem to get through to her boyfriend. We then get to our callers. 

Our first caller needs help setting boundaries with her mom and her relationship. Her mother has been in a toxic on-and-off-again relationship, and shares constant unwanted reports with our caller. Our second caller was involved in a threesome where everyone caught feelings. She hooked up with her friend, and her friend’s f buddy, and now wants to confess her newfound feelings for the f buddy, but is worried about upsetting her friend, who has already confessed feelings for our caller. Our final caller is considering cutting off her boyfriend’s toxic family. After years of failed attempts to have a healthy relationship with them, she’s not sure if it’s past the point of boundary setting, or if she and her boyfriend need to cut ties for good. 

“Being happy is better than being right.”
