Summary

Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have another special "where are they now" update show where we give you updates from our past callers, to see what's happened in their situations and relationships since appearing on the show. We bring on our first caller who had a tumultuous relationship with her birth mother and wasn't sure if it was better to forgive her and try to establish peace, or if she should move on and prioritize less toxic relationships. Our second caller had gone to a Harry Styles concert with a platonic guy friend from her apartment building, only to have things turn romantic. Has she listened to Nick's advice and addressed the shift in dynamic head-on? Finally, we get an update from our caller that was thinking about hooking up with her boss's - despite him showing some fuckboy qualities. Whose number did she get at the family holiday party, and who booty called her while with her boss? We also have some written updates! Our caller who was debating moving out from her boyfriend despite being financially dependent, the texting office hours question of if a guy who ended things might want to pursue her in the future, and our caller who needed to break up with her ex - again - all write back in to let us know exactly what happened. 

To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:

0:47.8

great you're gonna make it worse now no but this it like I do think there's obviously an

element of discernment where it's like you have to be able to like I understand that
