The Silent Red Flag in Long-Term Relationships & Is Filming in Gyms Completely Out of Control?!

About this episode

<p>On today’s episode of <strong>The Therapy Crouch: Ask Us Anything</strong>, Abbey and Peter tackle the chaos of January head-on as listeners write in with their biggest dilemmas, disasters and frustrations. From the pressure of dating apps and speed dating horror stories to the very real pain of hosting a dinner party that goes completely off the rails, nothing is off limits.</p><br><p>The pair also dive into why January is financially ruthless, whether a proper “reset” is even possible after Christmas, and why trying to improve your mental health with daily walks can quickly turn into rage at the general public. There’s also a fiery debate on gym culture, Gen Z filming etiquette, and whether social media has completely warped how we see ourselves.</p><br><p>In the Agony Abs, the conversation turns more serious as a listener questions a relationship that’s been stuck in limbo for 11 years, raising honest questions about commitment, living apart, and knowing when to draw the line. As always, Abbey and Peter offer straight-talking advice, plenty of laughs, and a comforting reminder that most of us are just trying to get through January in one piece.</p><br><p>If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast — hit the link below.</p><br><p>00:00 – The reluctant but passionate subscribe plea</p><p>01:05 – Freshers flu, cold water swims &amp; winter routines</p><p>02:01 – Why being cold is worse than being hot</p><p>03:14 – Sideline fashion disasters &amp; the “undertaker coat”</p><p>05:34 – Dating pressure, speed dating chaos &amp; conspiracy theorists</p><p>07:34 – Dinner party disasters and Come Dine With Me humiliation</p><p>09:58 – January finances falling apart spectacularly</p><p>12:52 – Mental health walks ruined by the general public</p><p>14:30 – Forest walks, flashers &amp; clearing your head</p><p>15:25 – The most disrespectful snorer on the Eurostar</p><p>17:27 – Gen Z gym culture and filming rage</p><p>19:04 – Social media, comparison &amp; gym anxiety</p><p>22:38 – Living apart after 11 years: relationship crossroads</p><p>24:26 – Hard truths about commitment and moving in together</p><br><p>Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com&nbsp;</p><br><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast</p><br><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch&nbsp;</p><br><p>Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/&nbsp;</p><br><p>For more from Peter</p><p>https://twitter.com/petercrouch</p><br><p>For more from Abbey</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy</p><br><p>Our clips channel</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg</p><br><p>#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
