On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get chaotic as Abbey and Peter dive into the modern relationship “icks” that are driving everyone mad. From gym-obsessed boyfriends who suddenly start calling every meal “fuel”, to the bizarre habits that creep in when people take their fitness journeys a little too seriously, the pair unpack the realities of dating in 2026.
We also hear some of your listener dilemmas including whether sharing a Netflix account with an ex is a major red flag, and what to do when your partner’s habits start giving you the ultimate ick. Plus, Abbey and Pete relive a holiday debate that will feel VERY familiar—when taking the perfect Instagram photo completely ruins the moment.
In the Agony Abs, things take a seriously weird turn with a bedroom confession involving being called “Daddy”… and an unexpected counter-offer of “Granny” that completely derails the mood. It’s funny, unfiltered and full of the kind of honest relationship chat that will have you questioning everything.
