Ask Nick - Ghosted At 5 Months Pregnant | The Viall Files w/ Nick Viall

[@daixyray]

I have been the kid of "The Father that ghosts his kids." My mom chose not to really fight it and I am thankful because me and my sisters were and are soooo better off. He ended up having more kids with other women and eventually did the same thing to them. My mom ended up re-marrying when I was 6 and my step dad is the best person in the world. Now as a 28 year old mom of a 5 year old daughter with a great husband. I feel so lucky to have a mom that taught me what showing up really meant

[@a-j4g6z]

Last caller…. I’m begging you, get a backbone.

[@ilyssaratliff]

The first caller's story is just wild! All the best to her.

[@kativanmeter4928]

Simping is essentially saying you’re whipped

[@kims7014]

That woman should file for child support asap before the other potential child is born so her amount isn’t impacted. Even if she doesn’t need the money she can put it away for college for their daughter. If she’s not going to be emotionally supported by her father, she deserves to be monetarily supported

[@eh1126]

She’s been trying to but can’t find an address for the guy to start the process

[@seven92023]

She shouldn't get any child support. There shouldn't be financial reward for women who make poor decisions, repeatedly.

[@kims7014]

So because you feel she made a stupid decision an innocent child should suffer? Because that’s what you’re saying. Kids are expensive and deserve to be supported by both parents even if those parents made bad decisions.

[@seven92023]

@@kims7014 I don't "feel", I know she made stupid decisions. The child is suffering anyway. That's the consequence of the mom deciding to have the child on her own. If she makes the decision on her own then she should financially support the child on her own. And she should also consider the effects of raising the child without a father. Women make decisions based on feelings and that is the mistake because women don't consider the consequences in a logical way. Single moms raise broken kids.

[@nk47100]

@@seven92023But didn’t the father make a bad decision too? So shouldn’t he have to deal with the consequences too? Why is only one parent/adult who made poor decisions to he held accountable in your eyes? Two people were required to create a baby. They both should pay - he can pay with cash and she is paying with her time and energy.

[@maydaze5934]

1:47:25 oof last caller, girl, you didn’t cause it, you can’t cure it, go to a codependents anonymous meeting and call the marriage a day. You’ll never trust him again and your kids will resent him one day if they ever find out what he did.

[@jennyonthecoast]

It makes me uncomfortable how some people are in relationships where there is little to no emotional attachment to the partner or kids they abandon. Also, when she said, maybe this will be the kid he takes care of, just sounds like "why am I not worth him showing up for me." There is so much time focused on outside validation. Who the heck cares, the guy is a nut

[@JatsDua-xu7nm]

I love that you asked for his details so you can lurk 🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@samanton8003]

I’m 53 and feel so young hearing this convo about trying to understand a simp. Having a teen keeps you in the know of all these things. 😂😊

[@sighswoons]

If a conversation fizzles out and never meeting after talking on a dating app is considered "ghosting" brother, I have ghosted hundreds of people. I agree ghosting only counts if you've met them in person then go radio silent. Matches on dating apps/deciding who to go out with gets overwhelming and I can't keep up sometimes.

[@jaclynnf9702]

girl find out the new wifes name.. look up and see if they have a baby registry and see if there is a mailing address !

[@meganmielke1244]

Hi, I love the podcast. One request, I listen to the podcast on Apple and I don’t know if it’s the same throughout all platforms but I’ve noticed that who ever is editing the clips will duplicate sections and it seems they forget to delete the duplicate for example 1:33 time mark repeats itself again. I thought I was accidentally clicking back but it’s happened almost every episode now.

[@TheStezo83]

Omg last caller needs to get a backbone! That guy is pathological

[@user-mh7ne9pf1s]

i was planning my whole life with my man. we got pregnant on purpose. and we had the baby. 3 months after. he lived 5 min up the street btw. with his rich parents. he disappeared and ghosted me overnight. 4 years later ive had zero closure....

[@wakanda6547]

Wow, daddy cruel is what comes to mind! Were you able to petition the courts for financial support? Wishing you and your little one simply the best.

[@0104blackpearl]

The woman that got with the man that already neglected his own daughter thought he would want to be there for their daughter?

[@gailperry455]

Not having a go at this woman specifically but I genuinely don’t understand how so many of these stories revolve around an unexpected pregnancy .. these are grown adults .. what about birth control ? I took more responsibility when I was a 20 year old than some of these 30 plus women/men

[@michelelynn5698]

We can "attract" but not realize, because of "norms" we're used to or childhood Attachment struggles. Yay for EMDR mention! I use EMDR in my practice a lot. It's magic!

[@vickinathan8777]

The coffee thing really works! I have “hypnic” headaches, that’s when you suddenly wake up with a terrible headache. My neurologist says to drink like an inch of strong coffee and then go back to bed. The caffeine dilates your blood vessels and the headache goes away. I can actually then fall back asleep. It can’t be more than an inch or so of strong coffee. Same is true for migraines. I don’t know if this person you’re talking about has a medical reason to do this, or is just lazy. Works for me!

[@shelby6144]

I am almost 28, my biological father was in my life until I was about 1-2 years old, and then completely vanished until my mom reached out to him when I was about 14 years old and the only time he would talk to me or see me is if my mom set it up. It was insanely awkward and I hated it. I visited him about 3 times for like a weekend. And now he’s completely back out of my life. Although I did have an amazing step dad that I view as my dad growing up until about 8 until he passed, I was perfectly fine without my biological father. Your daughter will be better off without the deadbeat I’m her life. Def go for financial support, but she doesn’t need a dead beat dad in her life! And you already know that, just re confirming!

A married man can act like a single dad, a single dad can act like a married man. This is what she choose . Play boy delusions . Stability & healthy lifestyles for your children. When you are single, married, parents, grandparents, your lifestyle changes. The rebound on these couples is happening . Where is the Love & Caring for each other ? How do you deepen a relationship ? When some people are on a rebound. Three girls have been born, Riley, River & Paulina, fruitful women !

Blessed with a podcast on a day off wooo

[@assyrianprincess3]

Thank you for talking about Travis. I give him grace

[@S_patricia]

Last caller, please get some self respect. If not for yourself, for your kids.

[@JatsDua-xu7nm]

His red flag comment 😂😂😂 he’s learning

[@assyrianprincess3]

My beige flag: i'm really good at memorizing and reciting lines from shows, and especially shows that I grew up on

[@juicie25bt]

That is exactly "UR" opinion Nick about Travis's poor behavior on National TV in front of the largest watched show E-V-E-R!!! We all r entitled to "OUR" opinion on his SHITTY behavior towards his Coach/Boss. Unvexcusable under any circumstance, we don't get excused for SHITTY behavior at our work place. Will never agree with u on Travis & I agree with 95% of ur episodes. Just saying, & that's my opinion.

[@lorimorgan2922]

I'm really curious to know. Do you ever do a update podcast on the people you have given advice to that? You have asked for updates do you ever let us know them?

[@lexil8212]

Yes! If you look at the channel there are episodes that say “ask nick update special” or something like that.

[@embeth446]

What happened to Amanda? What did I miss?

[@Dumbfoundead27]

She started her own podcast

[@alwayzjello]

Urban Dictionary's top definition of a simp is “someone who does way too much for a person they like.”

[@dariandavison1095]

Tot he woman that called about the men that does not care about her daughter … your story is not the same as mine but my bio dad did not care about me. He did not even help my mom! My mom the same way as you had an incredible village and I grew up with so much love from that village. As a 30 year old woman now married and hoping for kids soon I can tell you I am immensely grateful that my mom never pushed me to have a relationship with my biological dad. She never spoke poorly of him and she did have him chances for him to know me but he didn’t care. Now I can tell you he was a piece of shit and continue to be he has 5 children that he doesn’t care about. I am so grateful that I didn’t have him on my life I didn’t have his example I didn’t learn his lack of good values. In the contrary I grew up with an incredible strong mom that gave me so much and learned so much! So stay strong, stay true to you and keep your village close!! Your daughter will have to go to therapy but I know she will be better off!!

[@eviep2]

Why would anyone who detests cigarette even consider dating a smoker? That alone is strange to me. I wish nothing but the best to all involved.

[@RealityRecapGurl]

I didn’t realize they smoked until months into the relationship since they hid it fairly well

[@eviep2]

@@RealityRecapGurl Yes, I suppose that can happen. What a turn off that might have been.

[@assyrianprincess3]

My mom smoked cigs till she was with my dad, she quit before they got married because my dad didn't like kissing an ash tray 😂 She with occasionally smoke hookah with family now

[@Littletine]

simp is like if someone is going above and beyond to have your attention… not rlly like throwing mud on u bc they get off on it LOL. more so in the way of like they always make u coffee, pick up breakfast spend all day with you and then the one random time they see their friends they’re talking about u and then leaves early to pick u up or go to ur house hahahhaha a

Nick what did you give Natalie for her Push Present?

[@cindytrout6641]

Obviously the girls icked by Travis saying viva Las Vegas will never be accomplishing something like winning 2 super bowls in a row. Yes, too much time on their hands, let him scream what he wants for 30 seconds for that accomplishment! What a family legacy and he’s dating T Swift😂

[@joanne8084]

Whenever I’ve seen someone say they are a simp or someone is a simp in comments I thought they were saying the simp was a simple minded idiot. 😂 this new thing doesn’t sound right to me lol

[@pamelasaunders3736]

Hi Nick I’m so distracted listening to this podcast because I need to know what that is next to you lol !! Is it a pitcher of Margaritas? Please let me know.. so I can focus on this poor gal needing your help. She sounds like a great mom and I sure hope she gets the financial help for her daughter that she so deserves..

[@seven92023]

First caller has made poor decisions in her life, sounds very immature and unstable. No accountability from her. Second caller is example of delusional bitter woman who also avoids accountability for her poor decisions. Third caller is at least taking accountability for the relationship breaking down. She is willing to fight to save her marriage probably for the kids' sake. Most likely it wont work though.
