E671 Ask Nick - Should I End My Marriage...

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 disenfranchised men and whether or not there’s a divide between young men and women in modern dating? We then get to our callers. 

Our first caller is wondering whether a lot of little things add up to a non-negotiable, or is that Girl Math, because she’s considering ending her marriage. She’s not sure whether her grievances with her husband are pet-peeves or a deeper underlying issue in their relationship, and wants to know if it’s a marriage worth fighting for. Our second caller wants to get back together with the love of her life, but he’s currently dating the girl her ex cheated on her with. They broke up because of infidelity on her part, but she feels she’s worked on herself and is ready to start fresh with him. However, is it too late? Our final caller is wondering whether she should shoot her shot with a guy who has a boyfriend. She initially met him at a time when she was in a relationship, but remembers having instant chemistry with him. She’s now single, and wondering if she should reconnect with him, despite his relationship status. 

“You can’t base the rest of your life on someone’s potential.”
