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 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.

  • Abbey Clancy & Peter Crouch: “Tracking Your Partner Is Crossing The Line”

    17:49|
    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?!
