Moving to a new home can be exciting, as choosing new paint colors and checking out your new neighborhood are some of the more enjoyable parts. But thereβs also a huge downside to moving - the stress that it involves. For couples, moving isnβt always the bonding experience they hoped for, as 70% of couples fight while moving, according to new research.
A survey of 2-thousand adults finds that a third of couples say moving to a new home has had a negative impact on their sex lives, with 20% of them blaming the move for their lower sex drive. But even worse, 17% of respondents have actually ended their relationship over the stress of moving.
More than 25% of those polled have gotten the βmoving ickβ while changing homes. These are the most common βmoving icksβ people have experienced:
- Disorganization
- Trying to carry too much
- Dropping furniture
- Dropping a moving box
- Yelling βPIVOTβ like Ross on βFriendsβ
- Saying βhome sweet homeβ when walking through the door of the new place
