E741 Ask Nick - I Found My Father

Nick Viall
About this episode

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We start off by introducing Nick to the 'importance' of technological etiquette in modern dating. Then we get to our callers… 

Our first caller is married to an airline pilot, who she thinks had an emotional fair with his co-pilot. He's told her interesting stories about his 'friendship,' and she continues to express her discomfort with their closeness. Our second caller recently reconnected with her biological father and his wife hates her. Although he's welcoming of building a relationship, our caller is wondering if demanding respect from his family, as well, is acceptable. Our final caller has a cinco de mayo party coming up, and she's afraid to invite her best friend due to his drinking problems. She's had an intervention with him in the past, but she's afraid that his new friend group has made him act differently. 

"Make it hard for them to deny you, by how emotionally mature you are."
