Abby Newman and Chance Chancellor’s marriage is in trouble on ‘The Young and the Restless’

Like many of The Young and the Restless couples, Abby and Chance’s relationship is drama-filled. Their first year of marriage was tested by their attempt to start a family and Chance’s undercover mission that left him presumed dead. While Chance’s return was a happy occasion, his PTSD strained his marriage.

Although Chance got help, his and Abby’s problems are far from over. Chance’s work is a huge issue for Abby, who feels he cares more about his job than his family. Chance put his career on the line for Abby and the Newmans by agreeing to cover up Ashland Locke’s (Robert Newman) murder. While Chance did it for Abby’s sake, he questions his morals.

The strain in their marriage is growing bigger and taking a toll on Abby.

Devon’s been a loyal pal to Abby and offers his support during this troubling time. However, Devon’s support for Abby may lead to the bedroom.
