E454 Ask Nick - My Boss Is Manipulating A Plus One
We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this episode we take on even more of your burning questions in order to help you deal with relationships. We welcome our first caller who has been dating her boyfriend for over three years, feeling like things are at a bit of a standstill, with him not popping the question. Now she needs help with learning how to communicate better, especially after finding some interesting things on his YouTube watch history. Our next caller is stuck in a sticky situation with increasing pressures of her upcoming wedding, wondering who to invite when she's having a small wedding and seats are limited. Now she struggles with how to navigate her boss assuming that he'll be able to bring his new girlfriend as a plus one and talking about it behind her back. Our last caller wonders what to do when a guy she's casually dated moves to Germany for a new job, inviting her to come out. But now that she has the tickets, he's completely ghosted her. Now she wonders if she should reach out one more time or still go and try to have a great time on her own.
"You being right doesn't necessarily matter."
