We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we dive into our first caller's situation where her mother-in-law is demanding and rude, calling her husband names for not responding to a text. The problem is, the mother-in-law excuses her behavior because she has a lot of childhood trauma. Now, our caller asks how to deal with a self-aware person who isn't willing to change. Our second caller is a young man who struggles with expectations and dating after moving to New York City. Now with new friends and friend groups, our caller wonders if he should pursue dating some flirting friends at the risk of breaking up the group. Our last caller struggles when her fiancé has taken every step of a marriage without the paperwork and the ceremonies. Now, six years and a few kids later, our caller wonders how to convince her partner to take the next step and tie the knot, officially, in a way worth it for her.
