OM DENNE EPISODE
On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete’s ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete’s “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired.
The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”.
Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham’s vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they’d take if stranded forever. There’s also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner.
