Love, Sleep & Saying “No”! Abbey and Peter Clash Over Relationship Habits, Parenting & Dream Days!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal for part two of their sunny getaway, but there’s no peace and quiet in sight. Abbey wastes no time exposing Peter for turning the family holiday into a full-blown sports tour, with golf, paddle, football and post-match beers all somehow making the itinerary ahead of family time. Peter, naturally, insists it’s all part of his passion for sport.The couple then get into a surprisingly honest and hilarious debate about why football brings men together so easily, and whether women have anything that creates the same kind of instant bond. Peter reflects on his emotional return to Liverpool for the Legends match and why sport has always been his escape, while Abbey explains exactly why golf sends her over the edge.Later on, things descend into total chaos with a Portugal-themed quiz involving capitals, custard tarts and some wildly confident wrong answers. Sunshine, arguments, emotional moments and complete nonsense… just another day on The Therapy Crouch.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/editPlus, more holiday dilemmas, in this episode Abbey and Pete welcome back listeners Lana and Jeanette, to help them plan their TUI holiday.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and the team kick off the very first special Portugal Series with a chaotic Ask Me Anything episode from sunny Portugal. What starts as a simple Q&A quickly turns into classic Therapy Crouch madness as the gang discuss holiday packing disasters, bringing 12 suitcases but somehow forgetting the essentials, and the reality of family life abroad.Abbey and Peter also get brutally honest about parenting four children, whether boys are harder work than girls, and how they divide the madness of school runs, clubs and everyday family life. Abbey gives a rare insight into what her work days actually look like, from shoots and brand deals to juggling home life and total chaos behind the scenes.Elsewhere, the team debate why the phrase “body count” is one of the worst modern terms around, reveal their funniest relationship banter, and somehow end up discussing underwear, dressing gowns and karaoke.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or AMA question for the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction From Portugal07:03 We Brought 12 Cases… Forgot Everything08:32 Are Boys Harder Than Girls?

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with their usual mix of honesty, chaos and laugh-out-loud moments as they dive into the realities of relationships and family life.Things kick off with Abbey’s “weekly whine” as she calls out Peter’s inability to say “no”—leading to confusing messages, overcomplicated situations and a few relationship frustrations. Peter hits back, claiming he’s just trying not to offend people, sparking a relatable debate about communication styles in relationships.We also hear about a disastrous night’s sleep thanks to Abbey’s beloved Calm app, as Peter reveals how a relaxing meditation voice actually leaves him wide awake. From there, things spiral into bedtime chaos after the pair fall asleep watching TV and wake up to a completely different (and slightly traumatic) show.The conversation turns more heartfelt as they discuss Mother’s Day, expectations around appreciation, and whether love should be shown every day rather than saved for special occasions. Plus, they open up about the realities of parenting—juggling kids of different ages, losing their weekends, and finding ways to keep the whole family entertained.Later in the episode, Abbey plans Peter’s ultimate dream day—from luxury holidays to golf and unrealistic travel plans—before things take a hilarious turn in the kitchen as they argue over how to properly make a jacket potato.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction01:45 Abbey’s “Weekly Whine” – “You Can’t Say No”04:10 Easter Trip Chaos & The New Puppy06:40 “This Ruined My Sleep” – Calm App Disaster08:40 Falling Asleep To TV Gone Wrong12:15 Mother’s Day Debate – Are These Days Overrated?14:45 Parenting Reality – Weekends Aren’t Ours16:45 One-on-One Time With Kids18:40 Holiday Arguments & Relationship Dynamics19:50 Peter’s Dream Day Planned24:00 Food Preferences & Relationship Compromises27:15 Jacket Potato Cooking DebateTo contact us:Email: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/ @thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get very honest as Abbey and Peter dive into the little habits, lies and dynamics that make (or break) a relationship… 👀The episode kicks off with a debate that every couple will recognise - is tracking your partner’s location actually about safety… or is it crossing a line? Abbey defends it, Peter calls it a full-on violation, and things quickly spiral from there.We also get into the harmless (and not-so-harmless) lies we tell in relationships - from exaggerating talents to fully committing to stories that get completely out of hand. Plus, one listener dilemma about a dad pretending to be a professional footballer takes things to a whole new level.Abbey opens up about the assumptions people make because of her accent, while the pair share their thoughts on stereotypes, confidence and proving people wrong. There’s also the usual chaos - including a ridiculous game that quickly derails the episode and some very questionable dinner table entertainment with the kids.And in a rare serious moment, Abbey and Peter reveal what they think actually makes their relationship work after all these years - from embracing differences to knowing when to just let things go.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction 00:42 Tracking Your Partner?!
