E513 Ask Nick - Blindsided Into Meeting Dad's Mistress
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're here once again, to bring on our callers and help them navigate the crazy world of dating. We start things off before our callers by talking about a romantic Hanukkah Party, if ranch is good, and how Amanda practiced woodworking as a child. First, we speak with someone who was blindsided into meeting her dad's mistress at Thanksgiving and is wondering how to break a toxic cycle she has with her dad. Then, we speak with our caller whose sister is dating our caller's old hookup from a few years ago. Now that he's coming to family functions and causing tension between our caller and her current boyfriend, our caller wonders what to do. The more the story unfolds, the more our caller realizes it's simply a matter of trust and jealousy and that she really needs to put her foot down. Finally, we speak with a caller who is in a nonsexual situationship with her roommate's brother. They've gone on a date, and really like each other, but he seems to have pulled back in their communication after having spoken with his sister. She's wondering if how she is communicating with him is needy behavior and whether or not she's already gotten the answer she thinks she's looking for.
