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.”

0:00.0 | What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another exciting episode of the VALVALS ASK Nick Edition. Hope you all had a great weekend, especially for those of you who are tuning in to us on Monday. |
0:26.0 | Join by the household of Ali, Genevieve, and Derek. Amanda is back to you guys are concerned about everyone in the household. We're just going to be you tabs on everyone. Anyway, what's new? What's cracking? What's going on? Guys, I went to Atlanta for the weekend. You did? I had never been there before. You never been to Atlanta? Why'd you go? Because I'd never been there before. You just went. My friend, Caitlin and I were celebrating our 10-year anniversary. |
0:56.0 | We said, let's go to a city, neither of us have ever been to before. It was also combined with her birthday. I just chose an Airbnb. I didn't really know how the city laid out. The locals referred to it as the drug den. You should have said it in Buckhead. I didn't know a single thing. I accidentally got us staying in the drug den, which was fun. Did you go to Buckhead at all? I don't know what that is. It's like that a fancy part of town. I wish we would have stayed there. I probably should have asked. We went rogue. |
1:26.0 | What did you do? Well, we got there and then we went to dinner and then we decided to stop by this Mexican restaurant. That was by our Airbnb. Well, because the place we went for dinner didn't have any food. Just that appetizers. So we're so hungry. An appetizer-only restaurant. Why did you pick this place? Guys, you sound like me. This is something I made. Someone who doesn't know how to plan shit, who just goes by the seat of their pants. We weren't going by the seat. |
1:56.0 | I had a reservation. But why didn't you do appropriate research? Surely you would have looked at the menu and seen, oh, there's only $15 appetizers on this menu. We were hoping to order a bunch of them, but the waitress never came back. The whole thing, how did you pay? Finally, she came back. I gave her my card. By that point, we were just tired. Then we tried to go to this Mexican restaurant, which was open. Not a single person working. There was just a family waiting to be served. The whole thing was just |
2:26.0 | empty. The family's like yelling for service. We felt like we were in a like a prank. Why did you pick these place? This is on you. Yeah, this is you problem. We did go to a speak easy. Okay. We met an interesting man. That didn't sound like a fun time. I know it was. That was one of the best. Yeah. And then they met a man with a cigar. Yeah, he was puffing a cigar. He's a doctor. And then he was definitely giving like flirty vibes. And then I |
2:56.0 | noticed he had a wedding ring on. But instead of just like asking, like, oh, you're married in the middle of him talking to my friend. I said, what does your wife think about that? So I was getting a little aggressive. And then he was like, oh, I met her when she was my med student. |
3:07.8 | His wife. Yeah. And I said, oh, so you're a predator. You said that. I did. And he said, he's kind of brushed it off. And we kept talking for like two more hours. And then he asked for our phone numbers. And he pulled out a little black book. |
3:21.2 | The married man. And then it was a little black book. And the first page of the little black book was like, breathe. You can do this. Like it was like positive affirmations. And then you like whip out the next page of this person. |
3:33.2 | 29. Wait, what? The 29 year old married doctor. I thought you said like 73. I was picturing like Boller hat. |
3:43.0 | Can no spenders. Yeah. Yeah. But the cigar. Who is a cigar anymore under 30 and inside too. |
3:51.5 | And he met her when she was his med student. Yeah. That's how he phrased it. Who is this doogie house or I don't know what a weird journey. You are on. |
4:01.5 | Anyway, do we have a writer? Enter before we get to our calls. |
4:05.2 | We do kind of a pregnancy story. Thought it was topical. Okay. So she says, |
4:12.0 | and I being unreasonable or is my boyfriend absolutely batshit crazy? Love that. |
4:17.9 | That's the question. He wants his mom to stay with us. She's being unreasonable or he's nuts. |
4:23.0 | Yeah. Either she's like just slightly unreasonable or he's like a little bit like a little bit unreasonable. |
4:29.8 | So he wants his mom to stay with them two months before her due date. |
4:35.9 | She's expressed how much that would upset her as she's anti social and the pregnancy has been hard on her already. |
4:41.8 | He wants mom to come live with them two months prior. That was my question as well. |
4:47.2 | So they she was there for the first trimester and she was there for three weeks and was all over me. |
4:52.6 | Example, she flipped me over a midnight because she feared I would get bed sores. |
