"A rough commute is the pits. It&amp;#39;s super stressful, takes up your time and often leaves you in not-so-pleasant mood. It can even wreak havoc on relationships.\nPinterestFacebookAccording to a recent Swedish study featured in the Daily Mail, commuters who spend a long time (45 minutes or more) driving or taking trains to work are 40% &amp;quot;more likely to split from their spouse.&amp;quot; Experts said that because an intense commute can be pretty exhausting, these individuals might arrive home and be too tired to help out around the house. Researchers claim this could cause &amp;quot;a breeding ground for conflict&amp;quot; as one spouse might feel he or she is &amp;quot;being taken for granted.&amp;quot; Data for this study was collected from two million Swedish households over a five-year period.\nWe talked about our commutes a few weeks back. And while my current commute is pretty mellow, I definitely understand a challenging drive to work. For my first job out of college I drove nearly two hours each way! Before Chris and I moved to the suburbs, his commute to our apartment in Los Angeles was insane. He&amp;#39;d often arrive home completely exhausted, and yes, occasionally grumpy. I think that had we stayed living in that area and Chris had to continue that drive, we&amp;#39;d probably have quite a few more tiffs that we currently do.\nWhat do you make of this study? Do you think commutes can contribute to relationship stress? What about divorce? Has a rough commute ever caused stress in your relationships? And if you&amp;#39;re in a relationship, who has a tougher commute: you or your partner?\nP.S. Do you take the train, subway or bus to work?
