Traffic fights. Multiple times a day.

If you’ve been in a relationship for a while then you know that driving anywhere can cause some arguments. If you need to be somewhere at a certain time, you argue about whose fault it is that you left your home late. Or you argue about scheduling, with one of you thinking you can squeeze several destinations in and the other stating you can’t. You argue about parking, with each person having strong opinions on where to look for a spot. There is passenger driving going on. You argue about the quickest route to take to your destination. When you’re on the house hunt, you will have several of these arguments every single time you leave your home to look at listings. And it’s not great for your relationship. It doesn’t sound so bad but…it piles up, and you could feel really annoyed with your partner.
